A kiddie pool filled with ice can chill your party drinks.
Go out of the box - the ice box - with outdoor party planning ideas to keep drinks cold and accessible. Leave the ice chests in the garage and create a buzz among your guests with creative yet inexpensive drink storage techniques. These containers can be reused throughout the year for your entertaining needs. No longer are separate ice chests for bottled water, wine coolers, sodas and beer necessary. These storage options are big enough to display all your cold beverages and hold plenty of ice to make sure the drinks stay cold. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Pick a kiddie pool that fits the theme and color of your event. The pools hold lots of ice and beverages with no leaking. Don't take up room in your refrigerator for a watermelon, it will keep ice cold and add a splash of color in the pool.
2. Use a galvanized tub filled with ice to keep drinks cold. Check hardware or farm stores for a variety of styles. These tubs are handy for other household uses between parties. Mass retailers carry decorative versions of this idea.
3. Fill a clean wheelbarrow with ice to provide deep storage to layer drinks. Tie ribbon or raffia on the handle to incorporate the party theme
4. Put ice and a few bottles of wine in a plastic beach tote sold at mass merchandisers. Attach a wine opener with a ribbon or bungee cord for convenience and novelty.
5. Fill large clear acrylic bowls with shiny silver foil shreds, typically used as filler for gift bags, and mix in ice. This stunning look pops with wow factor while keeping drinks cold.
