So for my wedding we couldn't serve alcohol and we didn't want to just serve water either so we went the trendy route and had bottles of colorful soda that we got at
Restaurant Depot (what a wonderful place to buy stuff). And since we were already being trendy I thought I'd by those cute striped straws that you see everywhere nowadays. Unfortunately something got lost in the measurements (either I measured wrong or didn't measure at all or maybe the bottel change, who can tell....) and the straw was about the same height as the bottle itself. Which isn't an issue when there's soda in the bottle because the fizz makes the straw float a bit but the funny thing with soda is that you tend to want to drink it in which case the straw would sink and become useless INSIDE the bottle. Anywhoo...I returned the straws and we served the bottles as-is because I couldn't find longer straws but I thought I should share this cautionary tale in case you decide to buy those cute straws for your wedding or your next party. Measure, measure, measure. Most cute straws are 7 3/4" or somewhere around there.
HOWEVER, in my recent research (5 min ago I googled 'stripped straw') I discovered that
The Sugar Diva now sells LONG 10 1/2" striped straws,
here. Not in every color sadly but they do come in hot pink, aqua, and grey. Yay!
