Be it a kegger, birthday party or gala event, every party have a few things in common, like cups. Hopefully, you’ll have guests. You’ll probably need some tables and some form of seating. An, of course, you’ll need cups. From simple paper cone to the finest crystal stemware, cups are among the most universal, yet most widely varied of all party supplies.
A key factor in determining what type of party cups you’ll need is to decide what you’ll be serving in them. Some decisions are seemingly no-brainers. Serving champagne at a store’s grand opening? Champagne flutes are the cup of choice. Having coffee with the retiree at a post-work get together? Your choices here vary from simple, economical Styrofoam cups to the fanciest of china teacups and saucers. Cups such as tumblers or high balls also make great service ware for things like layered puddings and desserts. Whether it’s beer, champagne or pudding, let the item being served choose the right cup for you.
Next you may need to determine a size for your party cups. Maybe you’d like to have champagne for a toast, but the budget doesn’t allow for fine crystal and downing the bubbly all night, consider using smaller plastic champagne flutes and pre-filling them to your desired level. When the toast is over and the champagne is gone, your guests can simply toss the flutes and move on with their revelry.
Last but not least in for consideration of party cups is the material and décor. Your cups can be a major part of your décor. Festive Tiki or coconut cups are just the thing for a Luau. For a Super Bowl party, of course the cups should bear your favorite team’s logo. You can even have party cups custom printed to commemorate your day.
Whether tall or short, glass or plastic, elegant or wacky, the right party cups will make your party the toast of the town.
