Pick a signature cocktail for your party, serve it up in one of our Acrylic Beverage Pitchers. Order whatever glasses go best with your signature drink and have them personalized for each attendee! For example, Sara, Abby, and Ellie each get one glass with their personal engraving. Or choose from one of our designs, like the seashell for a summer party! Set up a beautiful tablescape with each personalized glass acting as a place card. Include your most beautiful flower arrangement, print off a pretty menu, and set the table with beautiful place settings for a gorgeous garden party.
