Anything but cup party supplies
Though everyone would be noticing what others have brought to drink from, that would not be the case if you are the one throwing the party. Here is a list of party supplies to make your life a little bit easier and to add fun to the party.
How to be Creative with Party Invitations?
There are so many different ways to be creative with party invitations. You can make them yourself or order them online. Some popular Anything but Cups invitation themes include beach balls, sunglasses, flip-flops, and of course – cups with holes in it. Cups with holes are just a reminder that cups would be useless at this party and so would be your imaginative skills if you arrived with a cup. Keep on exploring anything but cup party ideas. Talking about creativity, checkout white lie party ideas, where your creativity should come handy while coming up with the perfect lie.
Decorations for the Party
Decorations are very important for any party as they set the tone of the party. As the focus of this party is on the containers that you are using instead of decoration so your anything but cup party theme could be anything. For example, you can have a big inflatable pool that you fill with water or other beverages to stand in it while you drink, use balloons and streamers for the occasion.
Drinks Ideas
The best drinks for an anything but cup party are cocktails and mocktails. You can get creative with the names of your drinks too, such as Fruity Pebbles or a Shirley Temple-esque drink called “Little Lady”. Find some crazy drink ideas here. If you’re feeling really adventurous you could even have a smoothie party and everyone make their own drink. Just be sure to have plenty of straws on hand!
Outfit Ideas for Anything but Cups Parties
Since the focus is on creative drinks containers, there are no limits when it comes to what you can wear to your party. You could go with a Hawaiian theme if you’re throwing your party at the pool, or you could go with a beach theme if it’s being held at the shore. If you want to try some costume party, checkout this crazy heaven and hell party.
Tips & Tricks
So just to show off their weird drinking containers everyone would be going for just too many drinks. As a host you must be prepared with some garbage bags if few makeshift bowls are no longer able to hold the liquid and star spilling.
Secondly, these parties have the potential to go wild in a short time for which you must be ready.
Further, before the guests start arriving just make sure that your valuables like jewelry etc. are not lying around in the house in front of everyone. Because the last thing you want is to confront some drunk guy about your missing Hand Bag (On a second thought, this could be used as a drink container).
Wrapping Up the Party
Now that you have some great anything but cup party ideas for a creative party, it’s time to wrap things up. Be sure to thank your guests for coming and let them know how much fun they had. You might even want to send them home with a little something to remember the party by. A few parting thoughts:
- Be sure to clean up after the party. Nothing spoils a good time like having to clean up messes.
- Make sure you have plenty of food and drink for your guests. You don’t want them going hungry or thirsty.
- Have fun! The best part of throwing a party is seeing all the happy faces.
- You can use this theme for your dinner party as well.
