Types of Unique Wine Glass Charms

Wine glass charms are a must for any party. Each charm in a set is different and attaches to a glass. They help identify each guest's glass and keep it from ending up in the wrong hands. Unique wine charms also add a festive and creative touch to the event.

Unusual Shapes


A simple round wine charm is the most common shape, but there are other ones. Some charms wind around the stem, as if it is a vine growing up a tree. Other charms are made of straight wire that twists into unique positions. One of the most unusual shapes is a magnetic charm that attaches to the top of a glass. These are useful for stemless glasses and cups.


Unique Materials


Beads and figurines are the usual decoration for charms. Some are more creative, using materials such as:



  • Feathers

  • Clothes buttons

  • Dog tags

  • Political campaign buttons

  • Ribbons

  • Costume jewelry


Personalized Charms


Guests are always pleased to see a personal touch. A charm can add that feeling to a party and make a guest feel welcome. Charms that have the guest's name or photograph are very unique. Other special charms for guests are ones that relate specifically to the guest’s interests:



  • Alma mater

  • Hobby, like golf or art

  • Occupation, such as lawyer or doctor

  • Pet

  • Favorite sport


Themes


For themed parties, an appropriate charm is important. Christmas charms are common, but there are other themed charms as well. These include:



  • Poker chips, for a poker party

  • Nautical figurines for the beach or pool

  • Game playing pieces for game night

  • College insignia for tailgate parties

  • Whistles or noisemakers for New Year's Eve


Weddings


The wine glass charms at a wedding can play a dual role: besides keeping the glasses straight, they can also be a favor for guests. Key chains make a popular charm and favor combination. Bridal couples also use keepsake charms with their picture, along with the names and date of the wedding.
