What cup sizes should you buy for a party
Use 9-12 oz cups for soft drinks and water, 16 oz for iced drinks, and 6-8 oz for coffee and tea. Children drink less per serving, so 7-9 oz cups reduce spills and wasted drink at kids’ parties.
How many ounces is a standard party cup?
The common paper party cup is 9 oz, while plastic party cups are usually 16-18 oz. Match the cup to the drink rather than buying one size for everything.
Do cup sizes affect how much guests drink?
Yes. Larger cups mean fewer refill trips but more waste when drinks go warm. Medium cups plus a clearly placed drinks station usually keep the table tidier.
