Anything But a Cup Party Ideas Everyone Will Love
Tired of the same old party theme? Thinking of switching things up a bit with more creative ideas? We got you covered. You might have heard about “anything but clothes party,” but today we’ll be seeing something new, an anything-but-a-cup party.
Unlike other party trends, this involves bringing along creative drinkware; anything can pass as long as it’s not a cup. Watch how this adds color and fun creativity to your party. If you’re going to a party of this kind, here is a few ideas we’ve put together for you.
10 Best Anything but a Cup Party Ideas
When it comes to an anything but a cup party, anything that can hold liquid is a good game. But don’t be that boring fellow; now is your time to show off your creative genius, and besides, these ideas are fun to come up with.
Baby Bottle
If you won’t be drinking a lot at the party, then a baby bottle is a good choice for you to consume your drink of choice. This is a sanitary choice compared to what others at the party might opt for, and it is also a great way to recycle.
If you don’t have access to a baby bottle at home, there’s no problem – you can buy a three-pack at any store. You could give the other two to your friends or whoever you’re going to the party with; the uniformity makes it more beautiful.
Gas Can
If you’re looking to scare people a bit and receive a lot of questions at the party, come over with a Gas can or ‘Jerry can’ as it is called by a lot of people. Since this container is known only to be used for gasoline, it would generate a lot of questions for people at the party.
Don’t bother recycling an already-used gas can; that’s pretty unsanitary. You can purchase this online for cheap and in every size.
Super Soaker Water Gun
Show everybody you can have fun with a super soaker water gun. If it’s an indoor party, you won’t be spraying people with alcohol, but this would definitely tell people you are fun and approachable.
On the other hand, if it’s an outdoor party and your friend doesn’t mind getting wet, then you can do more than drink from it.
Blood Bag
Bringing a blood bag to an anything-but-a-cup party is totally out of the norm. This option would be great, especially for Halloween parties.
You’ll probably not find this at a store near you, but if you have a friend in the medical field that can get their hands on a clean reusable blood bag and a drip line. You can get an extra vampire-ry effect by filling the blood bag with punch or red wine.
Coffee Pot
Don’t have the time to purchase something? A coffee pot should be your go-to option. You could easily get this from your kitchen, rinse it, and it’s ready to be used.
Fishbowl
A fish bowl can hold a lot of liquid, so if you’re going to be drinking a lot, this could be your best bet. You don’t have to make your goldfish homeless to get a drinking vessel; you could order one online.
If you fill your fish bowl with a colorless drink, then you’ll probably have everyone looking at you when you start sipping with a straw. However, since the fish bowl is made of glass, it’s quite fragile and would require your attention and caution.
Water Balloon
The risk involved in drinking out of a balloon is what makes this option fun. Although this option would make more sense for an outdoor party, it could still be a fun choice for a house party.
Don’t put all your hopes on just one balloon; go along with backups in case the first breaks, and so you can share with others who want to jump on your idea.
Bucket
Here is another option for the heavy drinkers, bring in a fancy-colored bucket. Bigger buckets can be shared with friends, but there is a smaller self-sized bucket you could use as well.
Since a bucket has a very open shape, this is not the most sanitary option; opt for a smaller-sized bucket, use a straw, and only fill it with portions you can finish at once.
Condiment Bottle
As opposed to the bucket, condiments are closed-shaped and more sanitary, plus a great way to recycle.
You can pick up used bottles of condiment from the kitchen; it could be mustard, ketchup, mayo, or whatever empty condiment bottle you can find. Wash and rinse properly, but make sure to leave the label on it, makes people catch the idea quickly.
Liquid Soap Dispenser
A liquid soap dispenser is another small option you can easily carry in your bag to the party. It has a pump which adds a fun twist to drinking, so fill the bottle up and drink away.
What are the Anything But a Cup Party Rules?
The rules are pretty simple, don’t bring a cup! Yes, you probably don’t take cups to regular parties, but the twist is that there are no cups at the party, and you aren’t allowed to bring your cup. The idea is to get creative and bring whatever can help you drink what’s provided.
Planning an Anything but a Cup Party
There isn’t much difference between planning a regular party and planning anything-but-a-cup party, just a few tips; get rid of every cup in sight as well as bottles. Drinks should be self-served from dispensers or kegs, and be ready to do a lot of cleaning afterward.
Conclusion
The unique idea of an anything-but-a-cup party is to add creativity and fun to a regular party. If there’s a party of this kind you’re going to, don’t be the boring one; take these ideas we’ve listed and make a statement.
