About Patty Sachs
Expertise
Anything about planning parties for weddings, showers, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations,retirements, bar/bat mitzvahs, business promotions, fund raisers, and civic events. If I cannot answer I will direct you to the answer. I am not an expert in children or teen parties. There are hundreds of sites that specialize in that information if you google "kids parties" you will find an amazing amount of bright ideas. We do have a page on our site that leads to al the different kid's party themes, however. http://www.partyplansplus.com/themes.htm Not for those seeking information about party/event planning as a career. That information is found on the internet under "event planning careers" or at our site www.partyplansplus.com/started.htm

Party Planning - beverages needed for wedding


Expert: Patty Sachs - 6/4/2009

Question
OK, the location for our wedding only allows beer, wine & champagne ... no hard liquor at all.
We are trying to figure out the amount of soda & bottled water that we will need for our guests.
Total guest count is 120 for a 5 hour reception (1 hour cocktail & 4 hour actual reception)
Our purchase will most likely be one bottle of red wine & one of white per table/10 people, one (maybe two) kegs of beer, 240 bottles of water (minimum) ... the soda is what really has us stumped.
Approximately how many 2-liters would we need?
Cola, Diet Cola, Sprite/Mountain Dew, and?

Answer
I suggest for all questions regarding liquor and beverage amounts that you speak to your local liquor store manager where you are purchasing your needs, who is trained in expertly guesstimating these figures.  He/she will want to know a little about your guest list--that is how many adult, children, elderly, etc. which figures in on the count.  

Some stores will let you take a goodly amount just in case you need it and return unopened product after the party.

Check with your expert and I am sure you will get the perfect answer to your needs.

Have a wonderful wedding and best of all to you,

Patty Sachs
