Buying pop & mixers for wedding

I think getting those two is good because they’re basic and people like them. I would try to count for at least two drinks per person for the soda pop

Cans are more economical and don't go flat like bottles do. If you have a Bevmo in your area or similar warehouse liquor store, they can give you a closer estimate based on what people drink: certain cocktails vs nonalcoholic choices.

Also make sure you have diet sodas.


How long is your reception? Count on 2 sodas per person per hour.

You know your guests the best - My personal experience is

Cola / Diet (Again you know your guests - but always go 60/40 (towards the popular selection)

Sprite - Good mixer and good for kids

Ginger Ale - good mixer and older adults love it

Cans are probably your best option unless you can find economically (if important) the mini cans (that way you don't get a lot of wasted soda)

2 - 3 drinks per person / per hour - I always estimate on the high.
