I apologize in advance as I know some people have asked this before but so many of them didn't really give me the answer I need. I have roughly 75 guests. About half of them will drink alcohol at some point throughout the reception. Half of those drinking will probably only have 1 drink. (I know they don't drink much) Out of those 30 some people, half of them will drink wine. The other half beer. And I know all these google searches say 2pp/1st hr and 1pp/ every hour after. But I want to here from real people who had roughly 75 guests, with a total 7 hour reception, which includes cocktail hour and dinner. How much alcohol and non-alcohol drinks did you actually go through? I know I can always drink it myself or pass off to other people but I don't want to have an ungodly amount left. I don't want to have to hand a whole case of beer or soda to someone. Because I rarely even drink soda or alcohol myself. I will literally open a bottle of wine, have 2 glasses and never touch it again. It "goes bad" before I drink more lol. Our non-alcoholic drinks are just soda and water. But I was planning on at least 4-5 different flavors of soda. I was going to add lemonade or fruit punch as well but again I didn't want to be stuck with a bunch of stuff left. So can anyone tell me how much they actually went through?
TIA!!
