The one near me has big glass ones like the top picture of yours without the metal - and they're $20! Those target ones are darling too. Then you could just have your caterer handle the rental of the glassware, and ice and all that other stuff. Do you live anywhere near a costco?

Thanks for the tips, girls! Amanda, those jars are great - and inexpensive! I think you are all right about being able to unload or re-use them post-wedding. It's really a matter of whether or not it's worth the hassle to clean and re-sell them. I'm less and less willing to hassle with stuff as we get closer to the day. :) Carolyn, good thinking about choosing non-pulpy beverages. Thanks for the tips, girls!

I still have my heart set on using similar glass jars as you envision so I've been looking around for some. I know some people that had them at their weddings and still use them today so it sounds like a worth while investment....or like Amanda said maybe your caterer will buy them from you afterwards...they seem to be quite popular for weddings these days! .-= Stephanie's most recent blog post: <a href="http://sjhouser.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/cards-in-a-cage/" rel="nofollow">Cards in a cage</a> =-.

We had water with cucumber/lemon, limeade, and lemonade. It was a big hit! Our venue purchased the 2 large jars from us after the wedding because they loved them so much. :) We used punch bowl plastic servers we ordered off ebay and 7-11 cups (to go with our date, hehe.)

Ask them if it'd be OK for you to provide one. They're not incredibly cheap, but totally available for $30-$60. When I worked for a catering company we ended up buying them for a bride, figured if we rented them twice we'd be fine, and they ended up lasting for well over a year and many events. You can have a beautiful drink station-just be wary of anything with seeds or too much pulp, it will clog up the valve :-) good luck! julia! there are TONS of options, even if your caterer doesn’t have one for you.
