Alternatives to plastic cups

[Anonymous]

I’m hosting a party and in the past have gotten the “nicer” plastic cups ( meaning clear and not solo cups) but this time the waste is really standing out as absurd. Any nice looking but more eco friendly options?

Just buy some cheap glasses at Home Goods or Target or something. Store in garage until next party.

Go to the $1 store

Ask to borrow cups off of Buy Nothing and then return when done. This is what we do because we don’t have a garage to store lots of cups.

We have a set of aluminum cups (available at the grocery store), which are reusable and eventually recyclable.

+1 for Home Goods or Target glasses.

Or if it fits with your theme, buy some pint or half-pint size canning jars. After the party, use them for fridge and freezer storage. That keeps them in use and out of your cabinets.

Just wash them and reuse them for the next party. I do that with the red solo cups from kids parties.
