Give the party crowd what they want!  Real food!  These veggies in a cup are a super way to serve vegetables to your hungry guests without anyone worrying about double-dipping.  A beautiful array of colors and a little dip are served in every cup.  I think this idea would be even better served in glass jars with just of few of them having no dip.

Check out these veggie cups, some beautiful fruit kabobs, and tons of DIY party decoration ideas that one mommy put together to personalize her daughter’s birthday.

Have you seen the one with a little bread bowl as the cup? That way it is all edible! I think timing may be challenging to ensure the ‘cup’ doesn’t get too soggy, but I like the idea of a bread bowl.

the biggest issue for me would be that I only eat a few of the veggies and the others would go to waste. Maybe some type of a hybrid where just the dressing is in the cup and each person picks their own veggies?

I do this for every party. More people eat the veggies this way too. I think we’re all a little wary to eat from “piles” and dip from a shared bowl.
