Any time you're planning a party you've got to think about food and drinks and how you're going to dispense them to everyone. When it comes to beverage dispensers, there are many attractive and (mostly) well-priced options out there to wow your guests and quench their thirst at the same time.
• Bubbled Beverage Dispenser, $298.00 at Anthropologie: While the price is certainly a bit shocking, I would love it if three of these pitchers magically appeared at my upcoming wedding. Made from recycled glass and hand blown by obviously skilled workers comes complete with a sheesham wood lid. This beverage dispenser is seriously sophisticated and perfect for any modern rustic event.
• Trio Beverage Dispenser, $69.96 at Z Gallerie: The appealing aspect of this beverage dispenser is the fact that it has three separate compartments in one. If you're tight on space (or money) this trio dispenser is a perfect option. Made from glass.
• Steel Beverage Dispenser with Stand, $19.99 at Target: Made from steel and comes complete with lid and stand — this is an optimal choice for an outdoor party (I'm looking at the white one for my wedding!). With a 9.5 Liter capacity it'll be easy to quench the thirst of quite a few people and with that price tag, it won't hurt the wallet to buy several.
• Berkshire Twin Hammered Beverage Dispensers, $39.95 at Amazon: These glass dispensers come in a set of two and while the stand isn't the selling point — it does come with the set for easy display if you don't want to set them right on a table. I appreciate the traditional look of these dispensers!
• Round Glass Beverage Dispenser with Metallic Stand, $45.99 at Amazon: The stand that comes with this glass dispenser is a selling point. The set is modern and attractive and would look great at any party! The dispenser would also work well even without the stand.

Of course that Anthro one is gorgeous.
And of course it costs $300. Haha. :)
I think the stand of the Target dual dispenser IS a selling point!
Ditto @LauraJane.

I want it.
Does anyone know where you can buy replacement spouts for these? I have two but the spouts are terrible and it takes over a minute to fill a small glass. Help!
I am now having uncontrollable cravings for lemonade!
lemontart: Me too! I was just thinking, I have a few lemons in the fridge!
I am drooling over the one from Anthropoligie (and would go perfect with the wooden cake stand I also fell in love it....)
If you like the Anthro one, you must check out this similar mason jar version and a steal at only $14.99!

mrsvioletleigh, that's a nice dispenser, but not at all like the Anthro one.
Check this one too. It has a great egg-shape design but is on the expensive side...

Oh, that Anthro one is beautiful, but I can't believe it doesn't have a stand.
I do think a stand is a MUST for these. Otherwise you have to set them over the edge of the table and the drips go on the floor. With a stand, you can place a small saucer with a napkin on the table to catch the drips.
I loved these and wanted one for so long, but couldn't justify the cost....until I found one at TJ Maxx for about $18.
I love these too, but I'm always puzzled by the height of the dispenser spouts. Surely there will be inches of drink left in the container that won't reach the spout, and then you have the awkward tipping of the glass jar (yikes!) to get those last 6 cups of lemonade.
How does one clean these things?
Agh, that top one is amazing but who has $300 to spend on a damned lemonade dispenser??
