Now, the big question: would it be better to set up a DIY boba station yourself or rent a boba bar that often comes with a professional service? Let’s see which option will truly make your boba tea party truly unforgettable.
A Boba Tea Party Must-Have: Boba Bar
A boba tea party simply will be neither joyous nor epic if it doesn’t feature one, absolutely essential thing, which is the boba bar.
Your boba tea party with a DIY boba bar
Setting up your own DIY boba bar for your boba tea party can be a fun and interactive experience for all your amazing guests. The plus side includes the creative freedom to customize their drinks with various toppings and flavors that you put on display for all attendees. Such a homemade boba bar station definitely adds a personal touch to the event.
However, the downside might involve the effort and time required for preparation and cleanup. Also, it’s highly possible that some of your guests may not be willing to fix their own drinks. This means that you, as the host, will be responsible for making the drinks, instead of spending an amazing time at your own boba tea party.
Your boba tea party with a professional boba bar
Renting a professional boba bar brings convenience and a polished setup. The trained staff can provide an unforgettable experience, offering your guests perfectly mixed boba drinks. Also, professionals know how to make the boba tea drinks look out of this world, contributing to the overall atmosphere of your boba tea party.
Surprisingly, going for this option may not be more expensive than creating your own DIY boba tea station. You don’t need to spend money on equipment that you won’t probably use once the boba tea party’s over. Add the time you need to spend on picking up the right products, ingredients, and bubble teaware.
Prepare the boba-inspired treats and snacks
Treats and snacks that go well with the bubble tea will not only complement your boba tea party drinks but also add a flavorful touch to the overall theme, creating a memorable experience for your guests. What items should you consider including in your boba tea party menu?
- Boba-flavored cookies – bake regular cookies but don’t forget to throw in some tapioca pearls before putting the dough into the oven.
- Boba-shaped cupcakes or cakes – add a playful element to your baked goods by serving cupcakes or cakes shaped like boba pearls.
- Savory snacks with boba flair – don’t forget that some of your guests may feel like grabbing something that doesn’t necessarily contain sugar. Serve them snacks like boba-infused popcorn or flavored nuts for a savory and crunchy option.
- Boba milk tea popsicles – freeze your favorite boba tea flavors into popsicles. This will give a refreshing touch to your boba tea party.
- Boba parfaits or dessert cups – layer tapioca pearls, flavored jellies, and creamy goodness in dessert cups or parfaits. It will take you just a couple of minutes to make, but the impression you make on the guests will be unforgettable.
