How to Decorate a Bar Cart for Galentine’s Day | Affordable Gold Bar Cart
When I went shopping at my local Gordmans, I had no idea that I’d be picking up a new bar cart; mostly because I assumed it would be WAY out of my budget. Imagine my surprise when this gold, three-tiered cart was only $60! I immediately snatched it up because I knew it would be perfect for hosting parties and all my entertaining needs for years to come.
Was SO excited to find this gold cart at @gordmans for just $60! See how to turn it into the cutest bar cart: Click To TweetRELATED: Rolling With the Homies

These striped paper straws are super cute with the red, glitter heart on each one. I like to use a small pitcher to display them on my bar cart. And because I knew I wanted to have a fully stocked bar cart that was ready for Valentine’s Day, I picked up a cute little heart banner; it wouldn’t be hard to make one if you’d rather go that route!

How to Decorate a Bar Cart for Galentine’s Day | Top Down
I started at the top and worked my way down when it came to filling in my new bar cart. If you’re in need of new glasses of any kind; be sure to check out Gordmans! They had tons of options; since I already had some I didn’t bring any home with me. I put these stemless champagne flutes out as well as some mason jars so that all of my girlfriends can choose the drink of their choice. I like having the champagne flutes for mimosas and the mason jars are great for serving everything from ice water to mixed drinks to soda.

The middle section of my bar cart holds some equally important party pieces. These disco drink tumblers are always a party favor. Pro tip: if you want to make your bar cart pretty for display, use small boxes to add height under certain items. I used some under my glasses on the top shelf and the disco ball drinks on the second.

How to Decorate a Bar Cart for Galentine’s Day | The Heart of It All
The middle section of my bar cart holds some of my favorite items; make sure to include soda for mixers. You’ll see I used cans here, but bottled soda is fun to include as well. Another option is to use small bowls for snacks. I grabbed a set of 3 bowls for less than $10 at Gordmans. They’re perfect for holding red, pink, and white candies or snacks that are popular with your gal pals! I plan to put out popcorn, chocolates, and a bowl of red and pink candies.

Everything looks so pretty! The disco ball tumblers are very unique. I also thought the straws on the top tier were quite eye-catching.

I love your cute bar cart Nicole!! I still don’t have one in my apartment… (I have a very non-chic “bar cabinet” in the kitchen where I keep all my wine glasses LOL).

I love all the bar carts I am seeing lately, and especially love the one you found because it seems a tad smaller which would work better for me.
