How to serve sparkling cider??

Usually servers come around with the champagne glasses, your plan would work just fine.

i think the servers are because its alcohol and the champagne cost $$$

Maybe have it sitting in an ice bucket on the tables if there is room?

Maybe we could have a couple of the people that are helping us bring it around like a waiter would? Or, like you said, put ice buckets on the tables? Anyone know where to find cheap(price, not looks) ice buckets?

My aunt got a really cute ice bucket at the dollar store. it's blue to match her kitchen.

Oh cool! I'll have to check our local dollar store! =)

Check out Goodwill too, they always have lots of them and they dont all have to match! Is there a way you could make the ice buckets into your centerpieces? Google ideas and look at etsy too. Im all for putting a bottle on each table. I cant remeber if your doing a hall or restaurant but there is also a champagne stand, that holds an ice bucket that Ive seen at restaurants used. Have you asked your venue if they have ice buckets...and maybe the stands too? I wonder what the cost would be for renting those. If your strapped for cash I would either ask the venue servers just to walk around and fill the glasses half full, on the tables...or they could pour it into the glasses in the kitchen and then just walk around and give each person a filled glass...or if your venue wont do that...maybe ask a few older nieces to be the servers of the cider?

I totally forgot to ask the venue if they have the champagne buckets...I figured since they don't allow alcohol, they probably wouldn't, but that's a great idea. I'll ask them! Also, thanks @Rosemary for all the helpful links

@Mrs Cheapskate thanks! I'll check there too!!

I think I'd put them on the tables. Plus if there's extra, people can drink it. I love me some sparkling cider.

Cool! Just trying to think of a creative way to put them on the tables now...lol. Just plop 'em on the tables or decorate the bottles? Ahhh, don't know what to do!!
