Here are some frequently asked questions.

What is etched glassware?
Etched glassware is a 100%permanent process. Unlike laser engraving which is a computer generated process, etching soft satin finish.
Here at Groovy Glass we can provide a few alternatives. Fully etched (frosted look) Clear Etched (Clear glass with etched wording) The latter also allows us to produce coloured lettering which is an extension of the sandblasting by adding an acrylic paint to create a different effect . These processes are time consuming and each glass is done individually, making it labour intensive, but the results speak for themselves.
How is the glassware printed?
We use pad printing which provides a very effective finish and is also very durable. We do not recommend constant dishwasher use for this range. Our printed range includes champagne flutes, beer, wine and our very popular shot glasses.
Can I obtain a sample of your Printed/Etched Personalised Bomboniere items?
You can obtain a sample of some of our personalised bomboniere items including printed/etched glassware. They will however be excess stock we already have made up, not your names and design.
Please email us at sales@weddingglasses.com.au if you are interested in obtaining a sample.
Do I receive a proof of the artwork for my glassware before my order is made?
Yes, for all personalised glassware orders you will. Once you have made your payment, you will receive a proof of artwork which you need to authorize before we go ahead and make your order. This way you get to check off the spelling and layout of your order.
What happens if I change my mind after placing my order?
We are more than happy to organise changes for you if you have changed your mind, as long as your order has not gone to production.
When is a good time to order my wedding party gifts?
Four weeks prior to you wedding is a good time, but you can order your bridal party gifts as early as you like. As long as your date has been confirmed, you have chosen your wedding party members and they have accepted, you are fine to go ahead and place your order. Last minute orders can also be filled most of the time for bridal party gifts however its best not to leave things to the last minute but we are here to help.
When is a good time to order my wedding favours/bomboniere?
4 weeks prior to your wedding or soon as you have confirmed guest numbers is a good time to order as some of these items may not be in stock all of the time. If you are running a little late, please contact us anyway as we can fill last minute orders most of the time.
Can you print the individual names or titles of my guests/wedding party on my Printed Tealights or Glassware to use as Bomboniere?
Unfortunately, due to the process that we use to print our items, we are unable to do this. We use one template for our printed items which only allows us to print one design on to the items. You could also handwrite your guest names in a matching glass paint pen, which can be found at your local craft shop or use a label maker with clear tape and apply that to each tea-light holder.
What if you don’t have the graphic that I’m after?
Please do not hesitate to email us at sales@weddingglasses.com.au as we do have more graphics and fonts on file. If there is a specific graphic that you have we please forward your artwork in a black and white format in a jpeg preferably in a high resolution to sales@weddingglasses.com.au and we can let you know if we can use it. Please note that there may be an additional artwork charge, but we will always discuss this with you before we go ahead with your order.
