Apology goblet poem- wedding or shower gift idea

I scour yard sales, thrift stores, etc. for single goblets (can generally get them very inexpensively, as most want sets). Then I tie on some pretty curling ribbon, package in a pretty decorated box, and the poem and give as a gift. Every time, I've gotten rave reviews from the recipients, as well as from others at the showers.

I have probably given 6 or 7 of these for weddings along with a gift or money. Depending on the couple as to which verse I use. I try to use the color of their wedding with curly ribbon to attach the poem to the stem. I also look at goodwill stores, yard sales and the dollar store for glasses.

Fun, simple, thoughtful idea! Thanks for sharing!

Would love to see the other poems Lana!

Sunshine has the link to both of verses (or poems). I meant depending on the couple as to which one of them that I use. Glad sunshine posted it, because when I lost all my addresses I had the site that had these sayings and others under favorites.

I have never heard of this but think it is a lovely idea. I am sure all the goblets that you have given have been gratefully received.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea.

I love this idea. I'm using a small basket to hold the glass I found. I didn't have the glass etched but am going to make some wine charms that either say 'forgive', 'love' or use a heart for the glass. TFS

I'd not heard of this before. We've had a large! number of weddings within the church family this year with at least 2 to go.
This gives me an idea for a 'different' gift! TFS.

That's a very clever idea, we have a wedding in October I could do this for.
Thanks for sharing

Here's a photo of the basket. I picked up the wrong size basket bag and I was in a hurry so I think if you took more time it would look neater.
