Hi everyone! We are providing our own alcohol for our reception, so I'm going to start to make a list of what alcohol to get and how much of everything to buy, so I need some help! We plan on having kegs, mixed drinks & wine. We're inviting 175 people, but expecting around
150 to attend. Our friends are pretty hefty drinkers, and the worst thing that could happen would be for us to run out of alcohol. Can you help me with figuring this out?
BEER: We would like to have two different types of beer, a lager & a light option.... how many kegs of each should I get? If I had to guess, beer will be the most popular drink of choice.
LIQUOR: What different types of liquor are standard at a wedding bar? I don't want to have every single different type of liquor, just the standard choices but I don't know what that typically is!? And how much of each should we buy?
MIXERS: I'd imagine I should have orange juice, cranberry juice, regular soda, diet soda & a clear soda like sprite. What else? Ginger ale? Pineapple juice? And how much to buy (also need to keep in mind that the non drinkers will be drinking these by itself too)?
WINE: I assume I should have one white option, one red option and one blush option... Is that typical? How much of each should I buy?
CUPS: We are providing our own plastic cups, also. We're going to provide 12oz beer and soda cups, 10oz rocks cups & wine glasses. Again, not sure how many of each to buy?
Thanks for your help in advance!!!
