Escort Card, Candle Votive - Wedding Favor?

I saw an idea for an escort card where the there was a votice candle holder for each person, and which table they were at.





My question is, is there some sort of "at home" method to print the guests names and apply it to glass with it looking professional? Because the set up costs for every person can get expensive. But if there's a printable material that you can use as a tranfer on glass, I would like to go that route.

Escort Card, Candle Votive - Wedding Favor?
My daughter was married last Aug. and the ladies that hosted the bridal brunch used this idea........


They wrapped faux ivy around the glass votive cup and wrote the name on one of the leaves.
Reply:How many guests? If it's a reasonable number (and you have at least semi-decent handwriting, of course) I'd suggest getting a paint pen or two and writing it yourself. Have a friend or two over and make an evening of it. It could be quite fun.





Otherwise, can you tie a cardstock card (prettily cut out after printing) to the candleholder with a pretty ribbon?





Something's niggling at the back of my brain about printing the sheets of regular paper on your home printer and then taking them to a commercial copy place and havng them copy these sheets you've printed onto clear sticky-backed plastic. I've heard of this, but don't know much about it. You may want to check into that option. Phone your local copy shop when they open tomorrow, and ask if they do this.
