==Preparing the cup for Kiddish==
# The cup should be a real metal or glass cup and not a plastic or paper cup. If nothing else is available, one should opt to use a plastic instead of a paper cup. <ref> Sh"t Igrot Moshe forbids using a plastic or paper cup as they aren't considered a nice cup and it's worse off than a broken cup (which is forbidden by S"A). Sh"t Beer Moshe 55,  Sh"t Tzitz Eliezer diffrentiate between a cup that's reused and one that's ruined after it's first use, accordingly one could be lenient regarding plastic. Chazon Ovadyah (Shabbat vol 2) concurs. Sh"t Az Nidabru is the most lenient allowing any disposal cup, however it's still preferable to use a better cup. see further: http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/727120/Rabbi_Aryeh_Lebowitz/kiddush_with_disposable_cups </ref>
