Sometimes everyone stands, sometimes just the person reciting stands, sometimes everyone sits. There are different customs about whether to stand or sit while receiving Kiddush. Even if just one person makes the blessing, everyone is supposed to partake in the wine (or grape juice), so you should fill everyone’s glass before the blessing is made. Traditionally, a silver goblet is used but you can use whatever you want. The Kiddush is the blessing over the wine.
