March 2008

Rock exhibited our giant champagne glasses at this years RSVP exhibition which proved to be a huge success.

These 8 feet high solid structures can be heavily personalised and tailored to an event and can contain anything from water, champagne, glitter, yogurt complete with dancing girls or boys. The inner tubes can be under lit in corporate or brand colours and laminated logos applied. These look great on a red carpet entrance and are a sure fire way to make an impression at any event. You saw them here first.

Thanks to all the great people we met at the show. We look forward to speaking with you over the coming weeks. The glasses were also on show at RSVP North and The Times Show .
