FAQs
- How many total drinks do 100 wedding guests need?
With default assumptions, 100 guests become about 82 drinking guests and 410 total drinks. Shorten that if your bar opens only after dinner. - How should I split wine and beer for 100 guests?
The starter split gives 37 wine bottles and 6 beer cases. Match the split to the meal: dinner-heavy events often lean wine, outdoor receptions often lean beer. - How many spirit bottles should I plan for 100 guests?
The default spirit share estimates 5 bottles. If you are serving only two signature drinks, convert this into the exact liquors those recipes need. - How many champagne bottles cover a 100-guest toast?
Plan about 13 bottles for a toast pour. Confirm flute size with the venue because heavy pours can change the count quickly.
