Five Beer Pong-Related New Year’s Resolutions

New Year’s Eve may be over, but it’s never too late to make a resolution or two. Here are five you should focus on for your beer pong games this year:

1. I will be a good sport.

It’s tempting to rub every win into your opponent’s face, or to make excuses for every defeat, but remember, people are more interested in being around a fun person with a sense of humor. Cheering people on or engaging in good-natured heckling? Good. Continuing to celebrate hours after a big score? A little sad. Play it cool, have fun, and then move on.

2. I won’t settle for an ordinary table or pong balls this year.

Look, why would you need to use some shabby table you find in the basement when you can create the beer pong table of your dreams on the cheap? Or for an even smaller investment, you can put your team name on some beer pong balls. It may not help you win, but it’ll at least make you look awesome.

3. I will recycle my cups.

There’s no excuse not to do everything you can to protect the environment, especially when little changes are so easy. For example, tired of throwing away mountains of those plastic red cups every time you play a game? Then save yourself some money—and earn major karma points from the environment—by getting some reusable, dishwasher safe beer pong cups. These lightweight cups are perfect for beer pong, and you’ll be able to tell anyone you’re trying to impress: “yeah, I’m saving the planet.”

4. I will invite new people to my pong games.

It’s easy to fall in with the same old crowd and play your pong games with the same handful of people every weekend. But don’t forget one of the best parts of beer pong: it’s an amazing way to meet people and make friends! The game keeps people occupied, so there’s no awkward small talk; and by the end of it you really bond with your teammates. So invite the people down the hall, invite your classmates, invite your coworkers, and celebrate some awesome new friendships.

5. I will drink responsibly.

You know this one already, but we’ll say it again: it isn’t cool to drink and drive! In fact, we can’t imagine a faster way to ruin your popularity than to run into someone with a car because you didn’t have the foresight to find a designated driver. If you’re going to drink, make sure you have a place to crash or a responsible way to get home. And then go have fun and play some kick-ass pong in 2012!

Five Ways to Dress Up Your Beer Pong Table for Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner, which means three things: parties will be happening on every section of campus, women will be wearing slutty costumes, and the heat is on to come up with the best costume or theme idea. And what better way to outdo yourself than to dress up your game of beer pong?

If that sounds daunting, you’re in luck, because we’re here for you. Not only do we sell custom beer pong balls and custom beer pong tables; we’ve also come up with a list of fool-proof theme ideas for your beer pong table. So without further ado, some inspiration:

1. Vampires

Sure, your girlfriend may have dragged you to one too many Twilight movies for comfort, but you can’t deny that vampires make for a great theme party. Besides, what could be more satisfying than throwing a ball with Robert Pattinson’s face on it into a cup of beer?

Dress up your table by dying your beer with red food coloring and creating two beer pong teams: Team Edward and Team Jacob. Order custom team balls, throw some glitter onto the table (remember, vampires sparkle in the sun), and go to town with some blood-thirsty fun.

2. Black Lights

Replace your ordinary lights with black lights, which will make anything that’s white glow eerily. Then find some white cups, add white details to your beer pong table, and turn the lights off. Not only will you be able to play a fun and challenging game of beer pong, but you also never know which hot girl will snuggle up to you in the dark.

3. Jersey Shore

Bring out your inner Snookie or Mike “The Situation” with a Jersey Shore-inspired beer pong table. Put a “tattoo” design on your table, like a skull or a snake, don some fake tanner, and play an “anything goes” game of beer pong. Trash-talking and rule-breaking are encouraged! Just promise: no fist-fighting.

4. Playboy

We just have to mention this one. Nothing’s more fun than a Playboy-themed party, no matter the time of year. Tell the ladies to bring their bunny ears and swimsuits and get ready for a night of hot fun. And need we remind you? We sell an array of Playboy-themed beer pong tables for your viewing pleasure.

5. Good Ol’ Fashioned Halloween

Sure, there are more original themes, but there’s no denying that a good old-fashioned Halloween party is downright fun. Dress up your beer pong table like a witch or skeleton, buy some black and orange beer pong balls, and drink from the ghoulish punch of a spooky game of beer pong. Plus, it’s a known fact that every girl gets a little more snuggly when there’s something scary around the corner.

Happy Halloween!

Beer Pong: The Best Way to Show School Spirit

Use this Cowboy-themed table for inspiration as you decide what YOUR team's beer pong table should look like

So you’re back in school after your wet, hot American summer. Sure, this means homework, waking up early, and trying to avoid running into last year’s hook-ups on campus. But it also means football games, partying, and a chance to show your school spirit.

Many major colleges are already gearing up with some awesome football games, and the fans are coming out in droves. We salute these crazy fans, wearing their school sweatshirts and yelling until they’re hoarse. But come on, you can do better than painting your face or wearing a sweatshirt. There’s one easy way to step up your game: with a custom-made beer pong table!

Getting a table in your school colors or sporting an image of your school mascot will make your place the perfect pre or post-game destination for sports fans. Rile up the crowd by playing a couple pre-game rounds of beer pong, or help fans celebrate in style after a win. For inspiration, check out our other football-themed beer pong tables to see how it’s done.

So yeah, you could just wear a sweatshirt. Or you could support your home team with pride by throwing the game day celebration that everyone will be talking about. The choice is yours!

Holes vs. Triangles

Many of our customers, building their custom beer pong tables at www.partypongtables.com, ask us whether or not we would recommend getting a beer pong table with pre drilled holes or vinyl triangles.  Every time, Party Pong will recommend getting a beer pong table with pre drilled holes for the playing cups and here’s why:  Imagine a game of beer pong where nothing is spilled on the floor.  With pre drilled holes, cups are securely resting only 2 inches into the table, but enough to prevent cups from sliding or spilling off of the table.  Party Pong used the 16 ounce, red party cups to determine the exact template measurement, ensuring that the rims of each and every cup perfectly touch one another.  The edges of the holes have been smoothed and are safe to touch.  Party Pong does recognize 2 stipulations to the pre drilled holes: 1.)  Some re rack formations are unable to be formed with the holes and 2.) the cups rest about 2 inches lower than the standard height of beer pong cups.  Our response: We feel the benefits far outweigh these 2 stipulations.  However, at Party Pong, we aim to please all.  Therefore, we also offer the vinyl triangle option on our beer pong tables, providing an outline for that infamous, beautiful beer pong rack.

Labor Day Beer Pong

Labor Day Weekend is upon us and there is no reason why beer pong should not be the highlight of your holiday weekend.  Summer is quickly fading into fall, so what better way to spend this holiday weekend than outside with some friends, beers and a beer pong table?  Labor day is a day to reflect on all those other friggin days of the week that you have to work or go to school.  Live it up.  Kick up your heels.  Grab your balls and play some beer pong.  Take the day to imagine what your life would be like if your job was to play beer pong.  At Party Pong, most of our time is spent customizing and shipping custom beer pong tables to all of our customers, so that they have tables to play on, on days like Labor Day.  However, Party Pong will most definitely be enjoying a game or two…or three of beer pong this Labor Day weekend.

All New Plastic Table

A long time ago, one of the first Party Pong beer pong tables were assembled in a garage in San Diego, CA using PVC foam board, plastic cement, and PVC pipe caps.  5 years later, Party Pong is proud to introduce it’s latest and greatest Plastic Beer Pong Table model.  Very similar to its predecessor, again Party Pong guarantees this beer pong table will not break.  In fact, it is the only beer pong table sold in the World, that is guaranteed to not break.  The newest features on this beer pong table enhance the overall rigidity of the plastic tabletop halves.  Additional side brackets have been installed to prevent any hyper-extensions of the beer pong table, a problem that rarely, led to malfunctions in the center table hinge.  Steel rivets have replaced the softer aluminum rivets, providing additional strength in the center hinge.  The tabletop surface remains the same as our 100% ABS molded plastic has proven to be unbreakable.  Reasonably priced at $124.99 you can build and customize your beer pong table in minutes, by choosing your table graphic, holes, triangles, or neither, and speakers or no speakers.

Sharkeez Beer Pong Tournament a Huge Success

Party Pong and Playboy just wrapped up the third and wildly successful Playboy Party Pong Tournament and Party this past Saturday at Sharkeez in Upper Manhattan Beach, California. Playmate, Heather Rae Young posed with teams on the red carpet, making for a dramatic, fun entrance from the start of the beer pong tournament. As team made their way to the beer pong tables in what was an epic first round series, the tournament atmosphere was filled with excitement and nervousness. All 32 teams competing for 2 free custom beer pong tables and 2 tickets to party at the Playboy Mansion, brought their A-games, for sure!  In the end, there was one team left standing and that team was Black & Mild.  Despite an 8 cup deficit in the semi finals, Team Black & Mild managed to battle their way back and advance to the finals where they proved to be the ultimate champions.  It may be cliche, but although the was only one winning team, everyone who attended Saturday’s Playboy Party Pong Beer Pong Tournament was a winner, as they enjoyed at least 2 refreshing beers, a chance to win their own Playboy Party Pong Beer Pong Table, the company of Heather Young, and exciting beer pong action.

Playboy Party Pong Beer Pong Tournament

If you were at the Playboy Party Pong Beer Pong Tournament and Party on July 30th at Cabo Cantina in Los Angeles, you would have seen for yourself how smoking hot Playboy Playmate Alison Waite really is.  Not only is she hot, but she happens to be extremely friendly, outgoing and fun!  After posing with the teams for a quick photograph on the red carpet, Ali couldn’t wait to cheer on the teams competing for their chance to win 2 tickets to a party at the Playboy Mansion.  If you regret not attending this beer pong tournament and party, you have one week to sign up for the Manhattan Beach tournament at Sharkeez on 8/27.
