Keep similar drinking glasses easy to tell apart during a small gathering with simple names or symbols. Gather colored paper strips, a pen, tape, and glasses with stems or handles.
Set it up
Cut one strip for each guest and write a large name or distinctive symbol in the middle of the strip. Choose contrasting pen and paper colors so names remain readable in evening light.
Put the idea to work
Loop each strip loosely around a glass stem or mug handle and fasten the ends to each other with tape.
Finish and keep it useful
Prepare a few blank extras beside the serving area so late arrivals can mark their own glasses without searching. Do not place paper or adhesive inside the glass or along the drinking rim.
Would names, colors, or small symbols work best for your guests glasses?
