Bar Planning Essentials

Place a fresh flower arrangement on the bar. Offer wine glass charms or beer bands to help guests remember whose libation is whose and set out napkins (either cheeky or sophisticated) to prevent drink rings on furniture. Label drinks with decorative labels to let guests know what is what. Plan ahead and order custom-designed coozies that guests can take home at the end of the night.
