Okay, I’ll say it: Those wine charm thingies are tacky. I recognize that they serve a purpose, but I’m fairly certain that civilization survived for thousands of years with no real ill effects from a party guest accidentally picking up the wrong glass.

However if you want a fresh way to keep the drinks sorted by drinker, the Cocktales icebreaker cups spotted at Modern Lola will do the trick. They’re not pretending to be something they’re not (i.e. classy) – they’re just plain fun, particularly if you fill out something besides your name. Hello, I’m…blotto. Hello, I’m…not wearing any underwear. Hello, I’m…Going home with your date.  –Liz
