Sip in Style: How to Pick the Right Cup Size for Your Celebration

Whether you're planning a lavish wedding reception, a cozy birthday bash, or a fun corporate gathering, our customizable Frost-Flex Shatterproof Cups are the perfect addition. Choosing the correct size cup for you event can be tricky, but with our guide we will help you find the perfect size for your celebration.

First, a Helpful Tip About Cup Sizes

Cup sizes are measured by how much liquid they hold when filled to the brim. In real life? No one fills a drink to the brim.

A good rule of thumb is to go up about 2oz from what you plan to serve.
So if you want to serve 8oz of wine, you’ll want to order the 10oz cup.

Also keep in mind: ice takes up space. Most cups will hold about 2oz less once ice is added, so go up about 4oz if you plan to include ice.

Our Sizing Suggestions

9oz Cups
Perfect for wine pours or spirits on the rocks. These are great for cocktail hours, smaller gatherings, or more intimate events.

10oz Cups
A go-to favorite for wine and cocktails. Margaritas, mojitos, ranch waters — this size gives just the right amount of room without feeling oversized.

12oz & 14oz Cups (our bestsellers!)
These are the most versatile sizes we sell. Ideal for beer, cocktails, and pretty much any standard party drink. If you’re unsure what to order, this is usually the safest bet.

16oz Cups
Great for beer or cocktails with lots of garnish — think Bloody Marys, Micheladas, or anything with “extras.”

20oz & 24oz Cups
Best for non-alcoholic drinks, water stations, sodas, or as a fun souvenir cup for guests. These are also helpful for larger events where guests may refill less often.
