Outdoor entertaining is one of life’s simple pleasures, there’s nothing quite like gathering friends and family for a sunny brunch, breezy happy hour, or sunset dinner under the stars. But let's be honest: wobbly tables, uneven lawns, and unexpected gusts of wind can turn an elegant gathering into a spill-prone mess. 😬
Don’t worry, we’re here to help you keep the good times flowing (and the drinks, too!) with these essential tips for hosting a spill-free outdoor party.
1. Level Up Your Surfaces
Before guests arrive, take a few minutes to level your entertaining area:
-
Use sturdy folding tables or patio sets designed for outdoor use.
-
For uneven surfaces, tuck folded napkins or wood shims under table legs for extra balance.
-
Add weight with centerpieces, lanterns, or beverage tubs to help keep things grounded.
2. Meet Your New Secret Weapon: The Glass Slipper
Say goodbye to the days of worrying about wine glasses tipping on the folding tables or even on grass or sand! The Glass Slipper is the ultimate accessory for outdoor parties, designed to stabilize stemmed wine glasses on uneven surfaces with elegance and ease.
✨ Whether you’re hosting on a lawn, beach, or patio, The Glass Slipper ensures your guests can sip, toast, and relax without a single spill.

3. Keep It Covered
Mother Nature can be unpredictable. Set up shaded areas to make your space more comfortable (and drink-safe!):
-
Rent or use pop-up tents, pergolas, or large patio umbrellas.
-
These not only shield against light rain and wind but also help keep wine at the right temperature.
-
Bonus: Shade keeps wines cooler and fresher longer... no one wants a warm Chardonnay!
4. Prep for Spills in Style
Even with the best setup, accidents can happen. Be prepared with:
- Stain wipes or mini spill kits at your drink stations.
-
Extra tablecloths and paper towels within easy reach.
-
Hand towels or napkins that guests can use without hesitation.
