We got our toasting flutes today!! We went last Sunday to pick some out, and while I love them and they look fantastic I can't get over how much they charge for engraving. I imagined around $20 or so for the engraving but for just our name and date it was $40. So our $85 flutes ended up being $125 plus tax.They are worth the price because hey are beautiful and we will have them forever I was just caught off guard. Has anyone ever had engraving of just a name and date be so expensive? I think next time i need something engraved ill shop around etsy.

Yeah, I was a little shocked by their engraving prices, too. We got engraved picture frames for our parents, and I think it was like $3 per word. So to write:

It was $18 to engrave each frame because each part of the date counted as a separate word. They turned out really nice, and the frame itself was on a super sale for like $12, so it wasn't too expensive overall, but damn, that engraving was pricey!

That was the reason we opted not to get any. The engraving costs were ridiculous for something to drink out of once.

Yeah, Things Remembered really gets you on the engraving. One of the reasons I try not to shop there anymore.

If my sister hadn't bought us our toasting flutes we just wouldn't have had any. Heck we didn't even drink out of them at our wedding. We each already had a drink when we sat down and since no one did any kind of toast neither H or myself really thought about drinking out of them.

I was ok without having the but my fiancé really wanted them so we got them. I haven't ever shopped there before and probably won't again if I want/need something engraved but I would buy from them again and have it engraved somewhere else.

I'm super cheap and hate champagne, so for our toast... we bought flutes, but ordered them from walmart.com. I think they were $20 and I love them they say Mr. & Mrs. with our last names and the date...

@crystal&russl10, I cant stand champagne either! What a great deal!! We really should of looked around before jumping the gun and getting the ones we got.

I've had other things engraved by Things Remembered. It's very expensive.

My mother was planning to buy a pair of Waterford toasting flutes (about $130) for my daughter and SILs wedding, but someone beat her to it. She received a pair of etched champagne flutes as a shower gift, so she used those.

Thanks for the link! Mom keeps insisting that we need special champagne flutes, and these should do nicely. My aunt wants to get them for us.

I ordered mine from exclusivelyweddings.com the engraving cost $8.00. I got flutes and cake server for about $90.00

My aunt recently started her own engraving business after leaving her corporate job doing the same thing. So we got a lot of wedding stuff engraved for free. Otherwise we would have done without.

Here it's $0.90 per letter to get things engraved. When we bought Gibbs his dog tag for his collar, with his name and our phone number it was $13.

You're very welcome! I am pleased with ours

@addiel73 We dug our parents' flutes out for their 25th anniversary party - so they used them all of twice, ha. But I agree, I'm not sure that we'll do them either.

AddieCake · July 2013

I wanted them b/c I liked the idea of using them on anniversaries, but then it just seemed unnecessary since we usually go out for dinner if we're celebrating something.

QueerFemme · July 2013

We have been married for... 9 months. And we've used our flutes a few times since then, and we have used our cake server at least 4-5 times for various occasions. I am not upset that we spent the money on them.

Jessica41381 · July 2013

I'm with you @QueerFemme, we will probably use ours on special occasions throughout the year!

Last Christmas, Mom wanted to get something personal for then BF/ now FI (FI the traditionalist had already asked Dad for my hand). I told her he'd been wanting to get a gold tie bar with his initials, and that I was looking at one on Things Remembered's website. She had me put it on the am ex account she and I share, so it could be from her. I think the three letters was 5 bucks for their standard font, but I think that's also because it was one of those "last two weeks, must haves sales" type deals.
