Poolside Refreshments - Plastic Is The Key
This time of year, many are celebrating relationships, graduations, the summer, and family. Our family alone has four separate events planned for this summer: my parents’ anniversary, two monumental birthdays (40 and 60!), and a family reunion. Amazingly, all of these gatherings will be centered around water activities. One will be at a local waterpark, and the rest will all take place at a private pool. When mixing water with entertainment, it is important to implement some adjustments for the safety of everyone.
One major area to consider is plasticware. Plastic is sturdy and durable, and it can come with the look and elegance of glass. If plastic breaks, it is so much safer than shattered glass. It is lightweight, inexpensive, and in most places, recyclable. And, check out the variety of plasticware available for parties and events!
Plastic margarita glasses are great for serving up alcoholic and non-alcoholic frozen beverages. With the classic margarita glass, shape, these plastic glasses are perfect for a Fiesta-themed party. Try using them with other frozen fruit drinks. They are great for floating fruit or garnishing with sliced citrus or a paper umbrella.
Plastic wine glasses are also a good choice for outdoor entertainment. Not only are they perfect for serving wine, but consider using them for iced tea and lemonade as well. They are not huge, so they also make great punch cups, too!
Plastic tumblers are the universal beverage holder. Use plastic tumblers for mixed drinks, frozen drinks, punch, teas, fruit ades and more. Available in a variety of sizes, plastic tumblers are durable and easy, especially for small hands!
For those more elegant affairs, check out the plastic champagne flutes. While everyone enjoys a good toast at an engagement or a wedding, the safety of the guests should come first. By using clear plastic champagne flutes, the look of class and elegance is achieved while not compromising the safety of the guests.
By using plasticware, dishwashing is considerably diminished, the host can relax and know that broken glass is not an option, and guests can feel comfortable, knowing that the beautiful container in their hand is not a $30 piece of stemware.
