Mason jars are trending big! People love them for the quirky, vintage-inspired feel to them. We love them because of how versatile they are, and at around $10 for a pack of 12, they’re not too bad on the wallet either. You can use them for just about any theme and for just about any task. Here are a few ways you can use mason jars at your next party.

Drinkware

Probably the simplest way to use mason jars are as cups. As commonly seen at Lucille’s BBQ restaurants around the country, mason jars are a great way to serve and consume beverages. They’ve got a backyard, casual kind of feel and as a plus, they can hold a whole lot of drink!

Vases

When cleverly decorated, mason jars can be used as vases or as centerpieces for party tables. Here are some mason jars dressed up in lace and filled with sparse stems of baby’s breath for a shabby-chic tea party.

Utensil Holders

As simple as it sounds! Mason jars make great containers for separating utensils at a party. Since they are clear, guests can easily see what is inside. The open mouth makes for easy access as well as keeping everything neat and sanitary.

Party Games

Mason jars can be used for games too – especially if you’re hosting a circus-themed party (here). Line them up three by three to create a tic tac toe toss game. If you line them up like a pyramid, you can create a score tosses made like skee-ball. Use ping-pongs for the toss game since they are light and won’t break the glass. You can also put jelly beans in a mason jar and have guests take a guess at how many there are.

Candy Bar

Self-serve candy bars are extremely popular nowadays. Mason jars make excellent containers for candy bars. Just sort the candies and separate in the mason jars and use mini tongs, (which you can find at some dollar stores), to let guests serve themselves. You can also use risers to create depth to your candy bar set-up.
