Party help - labeling glasses

[msmerymac]

Hi everyone.

You know those little things that go around wine glasses so people can tell which glass is theirs?

I need an idea like that, except for small beer tasting glasses. I'm having a holiday beer tasting at my house with 12-15 people next weekend. We have PLENTY of glass tasting glasses, of about 4-5 ounces each. Things that look like kind of like this, although most are branded with the name of the beer fest we got them at:



Like I said, we have enough, but not enough for everyone to get a clean one for each beer they are tasting (we have at least a dozen varieties in 750 ml bottles). I want to avoid people losing track of their glasses. Any ideas of how to label them?

What about something like this - works for any glasses, not just ones with stems:

I have people write their name, something witty or whatever they want on their glasses with oil based paint pens like this: www.amazon.com/Elmers-Painters-Opaque-Marker-Medium/dp/B0027A5CYA/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1354748861&sr=8-14&keywords=paint+pen

it dries in a matter of seconds and it doesn't rub off. it comes off easily with goo off.

it ends up something like this (but without the rhinestones)

I couldn't find glass "stickies" that I liked (although I looked), but I got some quick-drying pens for glass that wipe off with cooking oil. Thanks a lot!

Would beer bands work? Like this -- www.amazon.com/Fred-Bombed-Beerbands-Set-12/dp/B000JNY2IE/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1354858252&sr=1-1&keywords=beer+bands

If you don't mind altering the glasses you could dip the bottoms in chalk paint so everyone can write their names on it.
