Bar Planning Essentials

If you're hosting a casual barbecue, pick up funky, plastic margarita and martini glasses at local stores for about $1-$3 each. It's okay if they're mismatched, you're going for a casual look. For a more elegant affair, rent high-quality glass stemware from a party rental store. They'll cost around $1 per stem for the night, and you won't have to do any hand-washing or worry about chipping your own crystal.
