Party Idea: Host an Old Fashioned Soda Bar

I was looking around a few of my favorite blogs last night and stumbled upon this little gem of an idea over at Project Wedding. Didn’t I tell you I love wedding sites???

If you’ve ever been to a little party of mine you know that I LOVE retro soda. It’s way expensive a lot of times and totally frivilous but I LOVE the glass bottles, bright colors, and vintage labels. YUM!!! I definitely consider it a decoration. Around the holidays many of my favorite soda and juice makers (Jones, Boyer and Izze) create special flavors and colors just for that particular holiday. Jones make a candy corn for halloween and gingerbread for Christmas, Izze has special blackberry just for hallowen. So fun!!! So you can imagine my pure delight when I saw these images….

Yes, my heart did just skip a beat. lol!

Imagine pairing them with these beauties…

you can find them here.

A couple of my favorite places to find sodas are Costco (cases of Izze bottles for reasonble prices), Cost Plus World Market (their selection varies by store), Target (great selection of Jones) and BevMo. They have a GREAT selection of TONS of sodas by the bottle or case in the back along one ofthe walls. It’s great if you want a large variety because you can by them by the bottle. If you’re looking for even more you can find a bunch at Beverages Direct This one is my favorite at BevMo:

It’s hard to find, but if you love all things pineapple like I do, it is a MUST try. Waialua Soda Works definitely knows what they’re doing when it comes to soda!! I just wish they were closer and I could try them all! Good news though, you can order them directly through their site linked above!
