Prost! Oh, Oktoberfest, what a dream you are. The biggest beer festival and travelling funfair in the world has been canceled for a second consecutive year, for reasons we all know and begrudgingly accept. But don’t feel too bummed out if your dream to party in Oktoberfest has been delayed by a couple years. Oktoberfest is a celebration of people for the people, and while you won’t be able to ride the Devil’s Wheel with girls in their dirndls and men in their lederhosen’s, you can still have a blast with your best friends. Get wasted with your own Oktoberfest celebration at home with party essentials like custom aprons, personalized beer mugs and more.
Essentials for Your Oktoberfest at Home
It’s not Oktoberfest without the characteristic giant mugs of beer people that chug like there’s no tomorrow. Whether it’s an authentic pint of Paulaner, Augustiner-Brau or a local brew like Molson, you just can’t skimp out on beer at an Oktoberfest-themed party. If you’re really into the festivities of Oktoberfest, you would probably want to find a genuine German beer stein. Those things are pretty expensive, though, and can be hard to find. If all you want is just a quality beer mug or glass so you don’t have to drink directly out of a can, then these personalized Beer Mugs are for you.
Pour a cold one and fill up this glass which holds up to 16oz of your favorite lager or ale. Personalize yours with fun messages or just enjoy some of the already crafted beer puns!
Fun is fun, but you want to make sure your house isn’t left in ruins by the time the party’s over. With these custom Coasters, let all of your guests have something to place their drinks on because it’s going to be a long, long night (or a few consecutive nights), and nobody is holding on to their mugs for the entirety of the party. These custom drink coasters are made with shredded pine wood for a thin, light build and finished with a gloss coating where your personalized photo goes. There’s also the fancier Engraved Wooden Coasters if you prefer a more solid and rustic looking one to go with the theme or decor.
No drinking party is complete without beer bites to go with the booze. Prepare your favorite beer bites or authentic Oktoberfest meals and wash it down with your many pints of beer. If you’re having a BBQ, you won’t want to ruin your Oktoberfest outfit, so having a BBQ apron would be a good idea to prevent stains from spilling onto you. These Custom Aprons are 100% cotton and come in a variety of colors and fonts when you design your personalized embroidery.
Drinks are pouring and glasses are clinking. Laughter is in the air and everyone’s having a good time. Food is as big a staple of Oktoberfest as the beer and fun activities are, so make sure to have some delights ready to serve your friends and family a gastronomical masterclass. With a classy Wooden Serving Tray, you can lay out your Oktoberfest spread for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re cooking up traditional Bavarian weisswursts, roasted ham hock, pretzels, or a local favorite dish, these serving trays are large enough to fit most dry dishes on. If you’re looking for Oktoberfest recipes, Germanfoods has a detailed recipe guide for you.
You might not be able to replicate Oktoberfest entirely without the funfair rides and parlor games, but you don’t need to cut out the fun entirely. Playing Cards have always been a popular item during drinking sessions because there are just a whole lot of different games you can play. Personalize yours and keep the cards after the event as a keepsake of your Oktoberfest at home.
We’re just as keen on being able to visit the sacred Wies’n as soon as we can. Until then, the best we have is our friends and our beers at home. Till then, pfiat di!
