Reception Alcohol

We're doing wine (a red and a white), 2 types of beer, 2 boozy punch type of drinks, and then soda, water, lemonade. If someone can't find something to drink with those options, oh well. There are several calculators out there to help decide how to to plan for quantity. I do recommend having more than you initially think for non alcoholic choices. We are having a set amount of alcohol (2 half barrels, a case of each wine, and 10 gallons of each kind of punch for 150 (not all adults and not everyone drinks) guests for the 6ish hour reception) and when it's gone...it's gone. But there will be plenty of non alcoholic options if/when the need arises...

My FH and I used this at first.

Then my FSIL told us about Total Wine. They have a consultant that will sit down with you and go over how much you would need for your wedding. The best part is that they give discounts when you buy in bulk. If you have a total wine near you, I highly suggest you check it out!

Do you know if they allow you to return unopened bottles/cases?

My FSIL said she was able to. My FH and I are going Thursday afternoon to sit down with their coordinator and place our order

Great would love to hear how it goes! I have one near me.
