Mark your cup!

I know there are a lot of cute and artistic ways to mark your cup, like the beautiful beaded wine glass markers from Joy Beadworks, or the adorable, creative shrinky dink coffee markers from Hope Studios. But when you're time challenged and you've got a whole crew of kids coming over and you want to keep their cups/cans/bottles straight, try this little trick...



Save some thick rubberbands from your grocery produce such as broccoli and asparagus. Place a rubberband around each cup and write one name on each with a ball point pen. The rubberband stays put and, at the end of the night, take the bands off and save them for the next time. There's no need for plastic cups, and you don't get a dishwasher full of cups because no one can remember which cup is theirs...re-using and recycling at its best!
