Set The Mood with Drink Stirrers

Good morning! Hopefully everyone had a fantastic weekend - I sure did. It was all about the three major "S"s - sun, sleep, and stirring my drinks! Speaking of drink stirrers...lol. Today's posting is all about them! It's a great detail to set the party's mood - whether it's another detail that adds to the theme or it simply plays a useful role in holding the olives, limes, etc you can get as creative as you want with this unassuming detail. And think about what you remember from the events you go to - is it the huge flower arrangement that is by the entrance that you just walk past or is the unique glass your drink came in or the fresh logo on your hor d'oeuvres napkin? Exactly. It's all about the details and this is a great one!

Here are a few fun, creative, and unique drink stirrers you might want to consider having at your next shinding:
