Mason jars for wine glasses??

Shari 86

If you went to a wedding and there were mason jars for wine glasses, would you think it was cute and goes with the theme or would you hate it ??? 

T saw this on pinterest and is super in love with the Idea and I'm not so sure people will like it. 

Your thoughts are appriciated!

TIA

are they the ones that are mason jars with wine stems? I love them, but i cant find any ones that are cheap!!! 

My centerpieces are mason jars, so i loved the idea, but they are not cheap!! If you can afford it I say go for it!!

its a cute idea!!! HOWEVER have you ever drank from a mason jar? lol. It can be tricky not to spill it so you might want to consider a different option if they will be holding red wine.

We're doing mason jars for all drinks, but also providing straws- Because nothing is classier than drinking wine from a jar with a straw

<div>You can make them for pretty cheap! Get the crystal candle holders from the dollar store, and use E-6000 glue to attach them to the mason jar. I did this as a wedding gift for one of my brides who had a country/rustic wedding. And you can even put something colorful/pretty in the hollow part of the candle holder before you glue it to the mason jar so that it gives it a pop of color. :)</div><div>

It wouldn't be my taste personally, but I don't think there is any drink container that I would feel strongly enough about to "hate"!  I might need a little hint that I was supposed to drink out of it though, haha

I agree that drinking out of a mason jar can be tricky because of the rim. Probably not a good idea with red wine, but if you do straws that could work (Also strange to drink wine with a straw, but could make for fun decorating)!

T likes it so much I think I may have to give him this one. Even if I am not 100% on it. 

The rims on our jar are not difficult to drink from. I checked it out. lol

 I may add the straws to them after all I do have 400 of them lol. It is for red and white wine and non- alcoholic wine sprtizers as a lot of the women are KU.  

Thanks for the input! Everyone I appriciate everyones reponses!

I think they are unique.. I actually have one, if they go with your wedding theme they go for it!

I went to a wedding last summer where all drinks except bottled beer were served in mason jars. I thought it was adorable & fit the bride & groom's theme very well! I say go for it!

I actually love the idea.  We were originally going to do that, but I decided I didn't want to have to wash the jars (twice) and transport them to and from the reception hall.....  I think it's s super fun idea, though!

PS- We use mason jars to drink out of at home sometimes... it's not difficult!

Honestly, I am not a fan of this idea. It's cute for some pics but not functional - like PPs have said it's going to be hard to drink out of those!

I would try to find alternative glasses - maybe a similar shape and you can add some decorations (ribbon, twine maybe?) to fit your theme.
