STEMWARE: Plastic or Glass? - Rent or Buy?


Pin It Usually, the thought process involves whether to buy glass stemware, or save money and buy disposable plastic stemware. Renting Stemware (as an option) may not even be considered. As it turns out, the cost of renting glass stemware, such as the Champagne Flute is actually LESS than buying disposable plastic (at less than 50 cents each, how can you go wrong?), and you can have it delivered right to your door!

Don’t get me wrong, plastic disposable stemware can be useful on trips and vacations as well as pool-side (glass is no fun when it breaks there). It is sold as two-pieces, stores compactly and can be thrown away, so it does not matter if it gets broken. But, for your local parties and events, it does not make sense. If you decide to go this route anyway, make sure to buy more than you think you need. Your guests will throw them out and get a new one for their next drink because they know they are disposable.

Disposable Plastic stemware must be assembled, and when you are holding your plastic champagne flute, the bottom can fall off. This means you cannot put your glass down, which may be OK, if you really like champagne, but poses a problem when you need both your hands to hold your plate and get more of those delicious New Years Eve appetizers.

CHEERS !
The feel of a glass champagne flute, with the heavier weight in your hand and thicker rim when you sip makes a difference in your enjoyment of the New Years toast.  Think back to the last time you picked up a piece of disposable plastic stemware.  Did you get a feeling of high expectation about the beverage and the event?  When you “clink” glasses, does it ring with that festive sound? or sound more like a dull “clunk”?

You could buy the stemware for a New Years Eve party or other important event.  If the money is not a problem, storage space may be.  Storing different pieces of stemware would require plenty of cabinet space that could otherwise be used for kitchen appliances and food items.  Renting the specific stemware and glassware needed for a particular party or event is a great space-saving tactic for your home or event venue. It also saves you from having to wash, dry and buff them - before (because of “storage dust”) - and after events.

So, be greener by keeping that disposable plastic stemware out of land fills (not everyone recycles - especially after a New Years Party). Save money (another kind of being green): with the less costly stemware rental, not to mention the water/sewer, electricity, and dishwasher soap expenses. And - Save time from the chore of glassware cleaning - just dump the liquid in the sink and put the stemware back in the glass rack - your party/event rental company will pick them up and wash & buff them to make them ready for the next time you need them. Just think of all the storage space you will gain !

Chair Layout Part 1 - How To Design A Layout To Fit Your Event Space

Image
Designing an Optimal Chair Layout: The most important part of the chair layout is not the chairs themselves - it is the aisles. If the aisles are not planned properly, your guests will spend a lot of time waiting to get into their seats, delaying the start of the performance. Safety is always important, so the access aisles should also allow your guests to get out of the room quickly. Row Aisles: When planning the layout for an audience, it is important to allow enough room between rows of chairs for guests to enter and exit the rows before and after a lecture or performance. The absolute minimum is eighteen inches. Any less than this and you could have major problems with moving the audience in and out of the space in a timely fashion. The amount of chairs in the row should be no more than fifteen. Your guests in the center of the row will then have to walk only ten or twelve feet to get out of the row. Middle Aisles: Center Aisles, Side Aisles & Lateral Aisles The other pl...

How to design a Poster Board Layout

Mark Saponaro camelotspecialevents.com Poster Board Goals The best poster board has more graphics than text and is easily readable in a very short amount of time.   The poster board should be self-explanatory  so any reader can easily follow the content without stopping to figure out what they just read.    The goal is to make your main points (2 or 3 total...do not overload with info) in a limited amount of space (typically a 4'x 6' poster board) with attention grabbing info & graphics. This type of poster board will allow a reader to fully understand your topic, its premise, and ultimate conclusion. Text Use a simple font for printed text (eg. Arial) that can be read from a distance of about 3 feet.  This means the type size should be about 1/2 inch tall.  For the Title text, use a 1 inch high type size.  Print out a test page and measure the font with a ruler to check for appropriate size.  Hang this test paper on t...

KEEPING FOOD WARM AT YOUR PARTY

Image
Hot plates, crock pots, ovens, stoves, and microwaves can all be used to keep food warm at your party. They are not the best choice when it comes to a buffet. You want your guests to have easy access to a variety of hot food. The best way to accomplish this is with Chafing Dishes (also called Chafers). Chafers have their own heat source which is used to heat water which in turn heats the food. There is no direct flame on the food pan so your food stays warm without burning. The heat is most often created by an ethanol (alcohol) based gel in a can ( Sterno ). The fuel can last two to three hours depending on wind and how much the adjustable sterno cover is opened. The standard 8 quart Chafer is all stainless steel and consists of a base with at least two removable sterno cup holders and adjustable covers, a water pan, a food pan, and a cover. Preparing your chafer for use is easy: First, put about 2" of hot water in the water pan (the largest one). Next, load the p...
