Great Source for Party Cups

February 23, 2009 | By | Comments (0)

Sick of flimsy, boring plastic party cups?

Turn to Paper House Online in preparation for your next big gathering. They make my favorite customizeable "frost-flex" cups – the perfect combination of style and convenience.

I had these ones made for a housewarming party last summer, they were a total conversation peice, and we’re still sipping out of them when friends come over.

They’re unbreakable, dishwasher safe, and affordable (under $1/cup for a 12oz size, minimum order is 100 cups). The website has dozens of color, font, and image options, and they make for great gifts.
