Party before Mo Mo Panache:

It’s a boring and lifeless, dreadful atmosphere.  Guests kept checking their watches. No one was talking or mingling – they seemed to be glued to their chairs. A few moments later I overheard a conversation – it excited that people were talking until I discovered that they are joking about a tooth extraction that was more fun that the party – they said, “at least there was laughing gas…”

If I didn’t do something, my friends were going to dog this party for years to come.

Party after Mo Mo Panache:

I broke out the Mo Mo Panache glassware – a different glass for each guest – no drink mixups at this party.  Suddenly, the atmosphere transformed and was filled with laughter and joyful chitchat.

I could barely walk through the crowd of Tango dancers without spilling drinks everywhere. There was not one guest without a huge smile on his or her face.  This time, I overheard a story about that time when some friends tried to steal a tank of laughing gas from the dentist’s office… everyone was laughing until their jaws hurt.

Months later, my friends are still talking about this martini party. They can’t wait for the next one. Next time, it’ll be even bigger than the last.

Mo Mo Panache glasses are so gorgeous, in addition to helping you serve your martini party guests, they’ll also add to the decor.

My friend and her beau are finally getting ready to tie the knot. They’ve registered and scanned every item they could get their hands on – but I’m skipping all of those items. I’ll let everyone else purchase those boring items such as his & hers monogramed towels, comforters and sheet sets – they can have at it!

I want to give my friend a gift that she can enjoy on her wedding day (and night) and then display for years to come as a reminder of her beautiful day.

Towels and sheets will get tossed eventually, but this beautiful Asta Hawaiian Bridge and Groom Wedding Champagne Set will be around for years to come.

She and her husband will share their first toast together as husband and wife with these hand painted and etched champagne glasses. I can just picture her standing there in her beautiful dress (that I helped pick out by the way) holding up my gift for a toast that she will remember for the rest of her life.

Yes, I’ve found the perfect gift for the perfect couple. The search is over. Cheers!

So your best friend is getting married, and it’s on you to throw the bachelorette party, you want it to be unforgettable, so what will you do?

You want to surprise her with a memorable party, but you really don’t know what she wants to do. If she likes purple (which is the best color there is) here’s what you can do:

Throw a purple themed bachelorette party that will make your friend feel like queen. Don’t you know purple is the color of royalty? The options for decor and dress are endless.

You can stay in and have a home bachelorette party or you can go out for a night on the town – I’ll tell you what you’ll need to do both.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

For a girl’s night out on the town celebration you’ll need:

A limo – ask around to see if you can get a purple one, if not a white one will do.

Have everyone wear purple from head to toe, then top it off with these fun purple boas.

Give the bride a purple tiara.

Then toast with pretty purple champagne glasses

Tip: Call ahead to reserve the VIP section and make arrangements with the DJ to give a shot out to the bride-to-be.

For a fantastic purple themed home bachelorette party you’ll need:

All of the above, minus the limo.

Decorate with cool purple lanterns.

Serve drinks in these cool glasses

Tip: Play this fun “Hot potato-like game”:
Get everyone in a circle.  Get an old granny-looking handbag and fill with an embarrassing item, such as a shower cap, some rollers, or some other tacky item.  Have your guests pass it around to music (encourage them to dance a bit and then pass it). Have them continue passing it around the circle until the music stops. The guest that gets stuck with the bag when the music stops must take the embarrassing item out and wear it for the rest of the bachelorette party.

I have a friend who has the most amazing bar in her basement. Every time she has a get together, there’s always something new on the shelf. I get so envious, she knows I go crazy over her Lolita martini barware, so whenever she wants to watch my eyes bulge, she’ll pull out the most unique martini glasses I’ve ever seen.

She usually uses them for both function and decor, but last weekend she added one more use to the menu. She’d invited me and a few other friends over for dinner.  Afterwords we met downstairs for drinks – nothing out of the ordinary.

As she began pulling out martini glasses to make us drinks, she said she had an announcement to make.  So we all quieted down and stepped up to the bar to take our glasses.

That’s when we all noticed the hand-painted design – a Lolita glass full of gold an rhinestones with the words “I do” written on the base.

My eardrum almost burst when another friend started screaming, “Oh my God, you’re getting married?!”

That’s when she stopped hiding her left hand under the counter and started waving the heaviest, flashiest ring I’d ever seen.

Yes, I was jealous, because I wanted one really badly. When is it gonna be my turn to get the latest from Lolita?

Now next time, if she breaks out the New Mommy Glass I’m gonna know what’s up.

Want a unique way to announce your engagement to your friends?

I went to a party one night. I sat my martini on the table for just a moment so I could answer a text message.  I turned around for two seconds and when I turned back around there were two glasses on the table.  I didn’t know which one was mine because they were the exact same glass.

I could either take a chance, and catch a case of mono (or worse) or I could just let it go. I passed on the mono and went to get another drink. On my way to the bar, two women passed me with the most unique martini glasses in hand. One had pretty pink ribbons all over it and the other had shopping bags and shoes.  They were gorgeous.  I had to know where they came from.

The women told me they were Lolita martini glasses and they’d brought them from home because they hate losing drinks. I sighed, thinking about my lost drink. So I learned the hard way, but here’s how you keep track of your drink: Find some unique martini glasses. Lolita makes the most stunning glasses with the most unique designs. That way next time you sit your drink down you won’t have to worry, you’ll know it’s your because no one else at the party has a colorful glass like it.

I never knew how much creativity it took to create hand painted martini glasses until I discovered Lolita glasses. Each one is special and sometimes hard to find. You’ve got to catch them before they retire and usually the best ones are gone before I can even get my hands on them.

So I’ve made an attempt here to help everyone who loves hand painted martini glasses by making them available here.

Although I try my best to keep them in stock, I can’t guarantee that by the time you add them to your cart and click the “buy” button that they’ll still be available. So if by chance you attempt to make a purchase and your item is out of stock, I’ll suggest similar items that I think you will like just as much. What can I say? These glasses are the bomb! I can’t control how fast they go!

Each martini glass has its own style and personality – they’re hypnotic and irresistible. Who knew a glass could talk to you and make you want it instantly? In addition to the unique martini recipes that can be found on the bottom of each glass, I think Lolita might be adding subliminal messages that seem to say, “You know you want me…”

You never know. So tell me – which one of these unique hand painted martini glasses speak to you? I’m really digging these lately – if you like them, you better catch them before they retire…
