31 Days of Party Planning {Day 17: Drinks/Cocktails}

I don’t know what it is but at parties, but guests always go straight for a drink upon arrival.  Maybe it’s their nerves, some say it’s because they are thirsty from chatting with other guests, other’s do it because it’s a way to slink away and gather their courage before braving a party they may not be truly comfortable in.  All I know is drinks are everyone’s first choice even before food/snacks.  I always like to serve a variety of beverages at my celebrations.

/
/Here is a list of beverages you can have on hand for your guests:
/
/

/
/
• juice boxes

/
/

• soda

/
/

• coffee/tea/hot chocolate

/
/

• and don’t forget bottled water!

/
/

/
/Other drinks you can offer your guests are
/
/

/
/
• Ice tea/lemonade

/
/

• Beer or Wine

/
/

/
/Make sure you have plenty of glasses and cups available for your guests (we don’t want guests out of a bottle!)  And make sure you take into account the ages of your guests and have appropriate drinks served -but of course you knew that!  And if you are looking for a bit of extra pizzazz, I suggest some pretty awesome paper straws to impress you guests.  Oh and look at that I happen to offer paper straws over at my shop! {shameless plug}  You can also have labels on your drinks so your guests will know which is their drink.
