If you’re interested in treating your friends and making a fun and exciting statement at your house, consider this: Keep BYOB off the invitations and try creating your own convenient bar cart for game day!
Pick the perfect cart or cabinet
Decide what type of piece you want to use for displaying your beverages. Some may be looking for a vintage barrel, while others are more interested in a modern cart or even a cabinet. Think about how this statement piece will flow with the rest of the room’s design and decor before making your decision.
Possibly even consider a cart with wheels: A mobile cart is more functional and convenient for everyone!
Choose accessories
Just as you decorate rooms with eye-catching and functional accessories, your bar cart will make an unforgettable impression when it’s adorned just right. Color, pattern and texture are all important when designing your cart! Keep this in mind when choosing your glassware, napkins, coasters, mixing utensils and other accessories needed to craft the perfect game day cocktail. Search for packaging that will express your style seamlessly.
And don’t forget to fill in the blanks with non-beverage related adornments. Perhaps a small, modern globe follows your home’s decor. Or, a trendy vase of seasonal flowers brings everything together.
Choose accessories that flow with the room.
Don’t forget the refreshments
Since you’re creating this bar cart for game day, make sure to reach out to your guests about what they want to drink. Consider asking your friends to RSVP with their favorite cocktail. Here’s a link to my fall favorite; we call it the Shelly after a friend that introduced me to it! Then, you can grab all of the ingredients needed to keep everyone satisfied. Add a unique touch to the party by creating a house drink and have all of the ingredients stocked for each game day get-together.
Keep everything organized
You can’t just throw glassware, liquor bottles and accessories on your cart and call it a day. Try using trays to help you divide the bar cart into zones and dedicate each zone to a specific essential, whether it’s glassware, bottles or your own brass menagerie. You’ll be stylish and organized.
The level of organization will unite the look and show your guests you paid attention to style and detail in creating this unique entertainment piece.
Remember: Your bar cart should flow with the overall theme and style of the room in which you choose to entertain your guests.
