Bride squad tumblers

A tumbler is a keepsake with a lid on it, and that is the line between this page and the party cups. A printed plastic cup is used on the Saturday and binned on the Sunday. A tumbler with somebody's name on it goes into the case, comes out at a desk in November, and is the piece from the weekend most likely to still be in use a year later. Buying tumblers for a whole group when a stack of cups would have done is how a drinkware order doubles, and buying cups when the group wanted tumblers is how nothing survives the weekend.

Two practical numbers decide the rest. Capacity is the first: a twenty-ounce tumbler is a full drink with ice and a twelve is not, and the ones that give ounces are the ones to read. Weight is the second, because a stainless tumbler each for eight people is a noticeable amount of hold luggage. If the weekend is a flight rather than a drive, the acrylic versions on this page do the same job at a quarter of the weight, and they are also the ones allowed at most pools.

This page is one slice of the Bride Squad rundown, cut by the job rather than by the shelf the pieces sit on.
