Wearing Glasses With 3D Movie Glasses?

The ones we had a few months back were fine for me. The older red/green ones never seemed to work for me, but the newer style big black plastic ones fitted well enough and worked ok
Unless she is wearing that 1980's style glasses with the lenses that cover half your face, I don't think you need to worry. 
Speaking from experience, the 3D glasses piggyback nicely over today's specs without any problem.

The 3D glasses work perfectly fine with your regular glasses. They've engineered them quite well to fit comfortably over almost anything. I have small glasses and they worked great. My friend has large thick rimmed Buddy Holly glasses, and they worked great for him, too. Enjoy the film!
I wear glasses, and the 3D glasses worked fine for me, sitting in front of them.

Awesome. I've been wanting to see this movie in 3D. I've never seen a movie in modern 3D with the new glasses and all that, so this is good to hear.

The last time I saw a movie in 3D was back in the early 80s, I think (small theater in Hartford was showing It Came From Outer Space and Creature From The Black Lagoon 
) and they were still using the old red and blue cardboard kind. I was able to wear them with my glasses, but my eyes were watering uncomfortably by the end of the second movie.

I've only ever seen 3D at IMAX, and they had special glasses for those of us wearing regular glasses.
Yo, six eyes!
That's good to hear, I've been wanting to see a 3D movie and was wondering the same thing.

What is it that theaters use now (you can tell I don't know anything about 3D movies anymore

The theater I went to yesterday, they looked like sunglasses. The lenses are a bit darker than normal glasses, and the whole thing is plastic. They're kinda stylish, actually.
Do you get to keep the glasses usually, or just turn them in after the movie?

They are polarized lenses, one eye can see vertical wavelengths and the other eye can see horizontal ones. If you have two pairs you can hold the lenses in front of each other and rotate one pair of glasses and see the lenses change from transparent to opaque
you can keep them if you want but there are bins to put them in if you want them recycled. There is no benefit to keeping them because they force you to buy a new pair with every movie.
When I went to see Up in 3D the theater showed a couple of 3D previews first. As the first one aired a tiny little boy, maybe four years old, gasped and exclaimed, "Daddy, I wish the real world was in 3D!"
If she can see things in 3D in real life her eye glasses won't effect the 3D ones in anyway. They might be tougher to fully wear -unless the theater has special ones for eyeglasses- but her eyeglasses offer no resistance to the 3D effect. Vision doesn't work like that.
The only problem I had with the glasses is that they were tough to keep from falling off my nose with my regular glasses behind them.
My first thought to that isn't; "aww, how cute," it's; "What a moron."
Is there any hope for me?
Nope. You're pure evil. Embrace it.
Yeah, the last time I went to a 3-D movie was the recent Toy Story/Toy Story 2 re-release, and the big, plastic glasses fit fine over my own. However, they tended to get a tad uncomfortable after a while (the bridge of my nose got a little sore), but maybe that's just me.
Well, I think I'll go see Avatar tonight, so here's hoping it's a bit more comfy this time.
