Cut down on Cups During your Holiday Parties

It’s holiday and party season!  Entertaining guests can get hectic when everyone has cups, cans and glasses.

Here’s a couple of ideas to reduce water & waste when entertaining & imbibing:

  1. Label glassware with stickers – Find a variety in the dollar rack & let your guests pick theirs out!
  2. Use wine charms for wine glasses
  3. Leave out masking tape & a marker for guest names on cups or cans. Or, come up with a theme so guests can choose their own nickname, tagline OR logo for the evening.

What else do you do to distinguish cups and drinks at a party?
