Melinda, I always try to use the same disposable cup over and over. I've been to gatherings where I see people get a new disposable cup each refill and I always wondered what was the correct way to do it?
ReplyDeleteIt seem like such a waste to me. I just hold on to mine and
Deleteif I set it down I make sure I know where I put it.

Ok Malinda....you now have me ready to party! Thanks to you and this info, I can easily plan a successful party. Never thought about these things directly...but it's great info to have..
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying your summer...
These were such great stats...and I think pretty accurate. Like you, I try to hold on to my own red solo, but when I've hosted for the kiddos' birthday parties, baptisms, First Communion, etc. I've seen the stack of cups in my garbage!!! I didn't know how much to estimate on wine though...good to know!
ReplyDeletewow.. these are cool tips. Although, for my friends I may have to increase the wine amount.. : )
ReplyDeleteI always overbuy for cups and plates. I keep my cup, too, but even when friends are here for Bible study for just a few hours we go through a lot of cups.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips and such a handy time to post them as we are going to my grand-niece's graduation party and this list will be perfect for her mother! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose are all very handy tips. I'm glad you shared them. I keep them in mind for the 4th!
