The best parties happen standing up
Open houses, holiday parties, wine tastings, graduations. The best gatherings rarely have enough chairs, and that's fine. What isn't fine is guests balancing a plate on top of a wine glass, or hovering by the food table because there's nowhere to set anything down. Hand everyone a Mingler and they can carry their glass and their plate in one hand and move through the room.

Why you'll love it

• A hand free for hellos. The glass sits in the cutout, so there's a hand free for handshakes, hugs and photos.
• A real plate, not a napkin. At about 9 inches long, there's room for cheese, charcuterie, crackers and fruit.
• Nothing rolls off. Raised, ridged edges keep grapes and nuts on the board while guests walk and talk.
• No more balancing act. Drinks stay upright in the slot instead of perched on the edge of a plate.
• Looks good empty. The acacia grain does the styling for you.
• Stacks flat. A whole set fits in one cabinet shelf between parties.

How many do I need?
One per guest works best. A set of 4 covers a couples' wine night or a small dinner party. For open houses and holiday parties, get one for everyone on the guest list.
