So what does everyone think of having an engraved shot glass, just with our last initial? We both come from families who like to drink and we thought instead of wasting money on bottles of champagne that no one will drink, we give everyone a shot glass in a nice gift box and they can shoot a liquor of their choice for the toast.
Re: Shot glass favors
I wouldn't take this. Especially if the initial wasn't mine.
Also, are you saying that you want people to drink from them for the toast? Personally, I wouldn't take something out of a box and just drink out of it without washing it. Not to mention that if I wanted to take it home, it would be wet and I'd have to figure out what to do with it.

So I suggest not doing this or any other "personalized" favor.
But if it fits with your friendgroup and everything then go for it! I just am wondering, why not serve after dinner liqours and do the toast with those in the little cognac looking glasses? If they're liquors, it makes more sense to use the little glasses that those are typically served in instead of shot glasses.
We are giving what The Knot says is a "shot glass", but in reality, is big enough for a tea light or even votive candle. Our wedding is right after Easter and FI and I love jellybeans, so we are putting Jelly Belly's in each glass.
We did have a claddaugh (we're Irish), our names, and our wedding date printed in white ink...
BUT-the ink washes off when run through the dishwasher, so we felt that anyone who didn't want a personalized memento for the rest of their life could still utilize this favor.
OP, plenty of posters gave great examples of why you could better use the money elsewhere. Also, keep in mind, just because people might not leave them behind doesn't mean they plan on keeping them. I have read plenty of posts of similar favors where posters said they took the favor because they didn't want to be rude, but ended up throwing it away when they got home.
