How much Beer and Liquor to order for wedding?!

I’m not sure how much this will help but I just helped my cousin do a run to Delaware for her 250 person wedding. Idk if she’d classify us as “heavy drinkers” (we have some family that are wildly Christian and don’t drink) but for a five hour reception this is what she bought:

12 24-packs of Yuengling
12 24-packs of Blue Moon
8 12-packs of Guinness
6 12-packs of Bud Lite

4 1.75 L bottles of Triple Sec
8 1.75 L bottles of Bacardi Rum
8 1.75 L bottles of Jack
8 1.75 L bottles of Jose Cuervo
8 1.75 L bottles of Svedka
6 1.75 L bottles of Seagrams Gin
6 1.75 L bottles of Jim Beam
3 1 L bottles of Hennessy

24 1.5L bottles of Cabernet
72 750 ml bottles of Chardonnay
50 750 ml bottles of Prosecco
40 750 ml bottles of Rose

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if this is the exact video, but this lady is a wedding planner and talks about how to determine things like this in a lot of her videos

There are also a few drink calculators online that could you double-check against. For example: https://www.evite.com/pages/party/drink-calculator

Hey Samantha!!

Have you inquired in the liquor store whether they will accept unopened returns after the wedding is over? If you are able to bring back bottles that have not been opened, it would be a lot easier to over buy to ensure that there is enough drinks for your entire reception.

You should also consider how long your reception will be. This will inform how much beer and liquor you will need.
