Perfect Cocktail Parties Need Perfect Glasses: Use Plastic Martini Glasses, Champagne Flutes and Disposable Wine Goblets
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Elegant cocktail parties need stylish glasses. It is the one thing your guests will have with them the entire evening! Home entertainers should take a page from upscale caterers and event coordinators and look to high quality disposable drinkware. Buying or renting glassware is quite expensive, having elegant plastic martini glasses and wine goblets available to buy or rent will save your entertaining budget.
There are several things about using plastic glasses that make it more desirable than using glassware.
- The cost- Disposable glasses can be purchased for a fraction of the cost.
- Variety- They come in all types of cocktail glasses, including hi-ball, wine goblets, tumblers and martini glasses. Glasses for both hot and cold non-alcoholic beverages are also available.
- Durability – A plastic martini glass will not break when it falls at a party. No glass shards to clean up, or glass cuts for your guests. No breakage fees to the caterer either!
- Elegance- There are etched designs available in gourmet plastic ware that add a level of class,you would not consider with purchasing bulk glassware.
- Clean-up- It is easier to toss a bunch of plastic champagne flutes than it is to wash all the delicate glass ones and risk having it break in your hand.
- Hygiene- In order to make sure any glassware can be used again, it needs to be washed in hot, soapy water, and then sanitized at high temperatures. Hotels and professional caters can do this in with their industrial dishwashers, but most people do not have the same capability.
For future entertaining when image and style make a difference, you will want to have the most stylish supplies at the most reasonable cost. No matter if it is a wedding reception or a holiday party, you can use plastic martini glasses for the cocktail hour and disposable wine goblets for dinner and champagne flutes for a toast. This way when a guest asks for a White Zinfandel it can be delivered in the appropriate wine goblet, or if they want a Manhattan, the appropriate cocktail glass will be available.
