| Engagement Ceremony |
| The idea of the engagement comes from the past when the father or brother of the groom visited the relatives of the bride and asked for her hand in marriage. After the two families had agreed, the engagement was announced. Today the engagement is a formal ceremony when the bride and the groom announce to their parents that they wish to marry some day. An engagement party usually follows the announcement and is mostly hosted by the bride’s family. It maybe formal or informal. Close friends usually give a congratulatory gift that should be something elegant and unique and that will always be remembered. |
| |
| You will find the following pieces of delicate giftware in our collection that may be a suitable congratulatory gift: |

| Bridal Luncheon |
| The bride usually spends an evening with the bridesmaids during the last weeks before marriage, in order to talk about the details of the wedding. The bridal luncheon may be held in a fancy restaurant but it may be arranged in the home of the bride too in a relaxed atmosphere. One should avoid unnecessary excessive planning of this occasion however it may offer a chance for the bride to present her cooking skills to her bridesmaids. Besides that she may also show her maids her new home or apartment where she will live with her husband. It is a perfect occasion for the bride to amaze her guests and show them how much she appreciates their friendship. On the bridal luncheon especially when held at home some casual stemware and barware with simple shape and a stylish design is recommended. One should avoid glasses with rich cutting work and spare them for the wedding ceremony. The bride can cheer up her and her husband's home with some unique home accents like vases, bowls and candleholders. |
| |
| We recommend the following pieces of fine crystal ware for that occasion: |

| Bachelor Party |
| The aim of the bachelor party is to bring together the groom and his best male friends for a last big party before the day of wedding. An ideal time for the groom to pass out gifts of appreciation to his best man, ushers and groomsmen. Unlike the custom of giving gifts that can be worn on the wedding ceremony, as in the case of the bride's attendants, the gifts received by the groom's attendants are more likely not to be worn during the wedding. Gifts often include pieces of barware, bar accessories – these gifts may also please the beloved bride. The party is usually hosted by the groom’s best man who may rent a bar for a few hours or organize a dinner in a fancy restaurant or just stay home, have a drink or two and go out to a concert or a club. An eye catching barware may easily become the topic of a vivid conversation. |
| |
| As on these occasions men usually consume spirits we recommend our exquisite whiskey tumblers, vodka shot glasses and liqueur cordials. |

| Bachelorette Party |
| The bachelorette dinner or party is another optional custom having a reputation as the last chance for the bride and her attendants to release their pre-wedding stress. At some point during the get-together, usually following dinner, the bride may propose a champagne toast to her groom, as he is not present. If the attendants do not consider smashing the glasses after the toast it is worth making this occasion even more exceptional with a set of fine crystal champagne flutes. We would like to recommend the following champagne flutes or saucers from our collection that we think are the most suitable. |
| |
| We were looking for flutes with a simple yet elegant style. |

| Rehearsal Dinner |
| Sometimes it happens that the families of the bride and the groom have not met each other before. The aim of the rehearsal dinner is to allow the two families meet each other before the big day. It is usually hosted by the groom’s parents and is most often an informal occasion. The rehearsal dinner should follow the rehearsal of the ceremony. Most close relatives will be attendant. The toasts at the dinner are given by the host first, and then follow the bride’s father, usher and bridesmaids. This time the speakers have the chance to tell the more personal stories. At last the groom and the bride will give a short toast and thank everybody for their contribution to the ceremony. |
| |
| For the toasts of the rehearsal dinner we recommend sets of stemware in two colors. One color could represent the family, and aquatints of the bride (for example pink -gold tubby, yellow – gold amber or light blue –azzurro or dark red – dark ruby. The other color would represent the family and friends of the groom. These colors could be the blue – cobalt blue, green –emerald green, amethyst; we suggest selecting the champagne glasses and wine glasses in the same design for the toast. |

| Wedding Toasts |
| The wedding toast plays an important role during the ceremony. Mostly the toasting is done after the meal is finished or just after the cake-cutting ceremony. It is usually the best man of the groom who calls for everyone’s attention to raise their glasses for the young couple and drink to their health, prosperity, happiness, or good luck in life. In the past the guests were expected to stand up, today it is enough if they raise their glasses. After saying a few words about the bride and groom as individuals, the best man would speak about them as a couple. He finishes with a formal toast. The bride and groom remain seated and do not toast themselves. Next the groom may toast his bride by making complimentary remarks and then thank his parents and his new in-laws as well as his guests. He may also toast the bridesmaids but if he leaves them out, the best man will propose a toast again. Finally it is usually the bride’s father who will raise his glass and thank the guests in his and his wife’s name. He proposes a toast to the members of the wedding party. |
| |
| The traditional beverage for toasting or special celebrations is champagne; however, it can be sometimes substituted by white wine. During the wedding toast, all eyes will be fixed on the wedding toasting glasses of the bride and groom. Make sure that you chose for that occasion a unique elegant champagne flute that reflects a good taste and will be remembered also after the day of celebration. For the wedding toast we recommend something spectacular, some richly cut and exquisite looking champagne flute. Wedding toast glasses can be of different colors. A dark colored glass for the groom and a lighter colored glass for the bride will surely impress all the guests. Toasting glasses can be then displayed in a curio cabinet and serve as an excellent reminder of the exceptional occasion. Please have a look at these pieces of fine crystal stemware that may serve as excellent toasting glasses. |
