Party Idea: Anything But a Cup
Throwing a party soon and want to shake things up? Try this fun twist: the Anything But a Cup party. The concept is simple, hilarious, and totally customizable.
Here’s how it works:
Invite your guests to bring anything but a cup to drink from. That’s right—no wine glasses, tumblers, or margarita glasses allowed. Instead, challenge them to get creative. Maybe someone shows up with a watering can. Another might bring a teapot. Someone might even go rogue with a measuring jug, a baby bottle, or a quirky piece of vintage glassware. The only rule? It must be clean, safe to drink from, and wildly fun.
Add a twist to the game:
As everyone arrives, line up all the vessels on a table. Assign each item a number. Then have everyone draw a number from a bowl—whatever number they pick, that’s their drinking vessel for the night! No swaps, no take-backs. It’s random, it’s silly, and it’s guaranteed to get the conversation flowing.
Bonus points: Ask guests to find something with a unique style, texture, or story behind it—especially great if you’re into vintage or thrift finds. You can even give a prize for the most creative or outrageous vessel.
Serve your favorite drinks—sangria, margaritas, mocktails, or whatever suits the vibe—and let the fun begin. It’s a quirky, low-effort way to make a regular dinner party unforgettable.
