How to get Acrylic paint to stick to glass?

I am having an Eclipse party for the Twilight movie premiere and I have bought wine glasses that I want to design with everyones name on them. I have bought the acrylic paint markers and I have tried to seal the glasses with the Acrylic Gloss Spray not only does it come off when you run water over it, it makes the glass look frosted when you spray it on there. And I have tried Acrylic Varnish and it washes off...EVEN THOUGH THESE THINGS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE "PERMANENT"
Someone PLEASE HELP I have less than a week to figure this out.
I've also wanted to just to the glass etching, but i would have to buy a blank pattern for everyone (8 ppl) and then cut out the designs myself!! Any suggestions?

Your best bet would be to use "glass paint" (look at Michaels, etc). It's supposed to be permanent on glass.

Plastics like acrylic paints and white (PVA) glues are not supposed to be able to stick to very slick surfaces in general.
I don't know why the "acrylic gloss spray" you bought rinsed off though... it should be at least a little more permanent if it's a permanent spray, though it's always good to let plastics like those dry really well and actually even "cure" for a week or so before stressing them with water.

It's possible that you could coat the glasses *all the way around* with a clear permanent sealer to create a "mechanical" hold on the glass, then use the acrylic paints on top of that once dry, but you'd have to check that out. And you don't want to put any of those things in the areas where lips or liquids to be drunk will touch.

Check these sites for more on painting on glass though:
