There's something funny about pouring beer out of a bottle and into a glass made from a bottle, and yet with these Beer Bottle Goblets ($24.95 for two), that's exactly what you'd do. They're kind of fun, but a little bit tacky. What do you think? Would these find their way into your cabinets?

These reversible Serpentine Goblets ($375-$425) would definitely complete the look at the right party, and I do love the way one side is for water and the other for wine.However they seem a bit too gaudy for normal use. What do you think? Do you love them or hate them?

Come Party With Me: Indian Dinner - The Look

With a few simple touches, it's easy to transform your dining room into an exotic Indian escape. Start by purchasing a beautiful piece of sari fabric and use this to cover the table. Next set the table with gold chargers and white plates. White napkins are simple yet chic when tucked into snake-like spiral napkin rings.

Silverware with gold stems are lux without being over the top. Select a versatile glass, like a wide goblet, that can hold beer, wine, and cocktails. Taj lanterns in an array of vibrant colors are functionally fabulous at creating an entrancing atmosphere. A bouquet of fresh flowers in a bright hue is a necessary final detail.

Use a combination of white, bronze, and gold to create a rich looking Thanksgiving table. Cover the table with an embroidered runner and mirrored place mats. On each setting, place a white plate and a gold napkin. Paint mini pumpkins with bronze paint, tie a pretty ribbon to the stem, and attach to a hand-written place card. Goblet-style wine glasses work for both white and red wine. A branch-like candelabra looks stunning on a nearby banquet. Copper votives glow with candles at the table. Lush, white bouquets add a touch of refined elegance.

The Slanted Door Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco offers a choice of floral or smoky tea. Opt for floral, and you get an elegant wine goblet containing a bouquet of actual flora. I haven't tried it, but I'm so curious. Would you down this earthy drink?

Use tones of blue, white, and silver for the look of your Passover Seder dinner. To bring focus to the table, cover it with a gorgeous silver cloth. For each place setting, use navy blue placemats and white, blue, and silver fine china. Pour the ceremonial wine in to elegant crystal wine goblets. Don't forget to set four glasses for each setting. A sleek silver bowl is perfect for the traditional washing of the hands. The most important part of the ritual is the Seder plate so place yours where all the guests can admire it. Finish off the look with blue and white candles and fresh flowers. Since songs are sung throughout the meal, harmonicas are festive and fun party favors.

partysugar — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 01:18:31 -0800

Although I had mixed feelings about the beer bottle goblets, I love these rules of the house pint glasses. They are perfect for Super Bowl Sunday! Each glass states a different rule like no guest shall intercept another guest's seat and extra points for getting your own refills. I understand they aren't for everyone, but in the right place at the right time these glasses are fabulously fun! What do you think?

Use rustic, earthy tones to create an inviting table setting for your potluck dinner. Set the table the night before so that you don't have to worry the day of the party. Start by covering the table with a striped tablecloth. Use warm taupe plates and brown napkins held with gold napkin rings. A versatile clear wine goblet works well with both the blood orange punch and wine. Gold flatware makes the mood more festive. Run globe votive holders down the sides of the table and place a low floral arrangement in the middle. Make homemade placecards with twigs and pine needles. Light a fire in the fireplace and let the party begin!

Use warm Autumnal color tones to decorate the table at your vegetarian Thanksgiving. A falling leaf designed tablecloth sets the mood for a festive meal. Wooden placemats reflect the green theme of the drinks and square plates add a touch of modernity. Add gold accents -like napkins and utensils - to brighten up the look. Bronze goblet glassware makes the affair seem regal. Arrange rich colored flowers in tinted vases. Make quick place cards by attaching a piece of cardstock to a tree spur with a pretty, satin ribbon. Fill pillar vases with water and floating candles and wrap with golden garlands. Don't forget to light a fire so the house is cozy.
