Sip-Sized Saviors: Opt for Mini Water Bottles to Quench Thirst Without the Splash
For several reasons, choosing mini water bottles for your event can be a game-changer. Firstly, their compact size makes them incredibly convenient for guests to hold and carry around, reducing the risk of spills and waste.
Additionally, their smaller volume encourages moderation in consumption, ensuring guests stay hydrated without overindulging.
And let's not forget the aftermath of the "water bottle graveyard" phenomenon!
With mini bottles, you'll dodge the all-too-common scenario of guests taking a sip, abandoning their half-full bottles, and unwittingly creating a mysterious sea of abandoned hydration stations.
Say goodbye to the confusion of who's drinking what and hello to a tidy, clutter-free event space. Mini water bottles: solving thirst and tidiness troubles in one delightful gulp! 🚰😄

Plates, Please! Size Matters
When choosing plates for your event, it's important to consider the different types available. The right plate can enhance the presentation of your food and contribute to a positive dining experience for your guests.
Whether you're choosing plates for your next catered event with One and Done with Cookie or doing it on your own, we recommend using this guide to determine which type of plate and plate size you need based on your menu.
Dinner Plate Size
Dinner plates range from 10" to 12" in diameter, with the standard size being 10 1/2". This size provides enough space for the main course and accompanying sides without overwhelming the plate.
Frequently, individuals mistakenly opt for dinner-sized plates for appetizers and later find themselves puzzled by the food's disappearance. The primary issue arises from the larger plate size, as people feel compelled to fill it up, often resulting in uneaten portions.
Appetizer Plate Size
A small plate or tasting plate is a compact dish that typically measures around 7" in diameter. Your plate size will depend on the type of appetizer you are serving and the desired presentation.
Smaller plates, around 6.5", are ideal for bite-sized appetizers, while larger plates, around 6" to 7", can accommodate slightly larger portions or more intricate presentations.
In closing, remember that the smallest details can make the biggest difference in hosting a memorable event.
From hydrating with mini water bottles to keeping spirits high with a compact bar selection and serving savory delights with the right-sized plates, these simple strategies can elevate your gathering while keeping costs in check.
So whether you're planning a party, wedding, or corporate event, consider these tips to ensure that every aspect of your event is a resounding success.
Cheers to happy guests and stress-free hosting!
