How much is enough???

Ok so to wrap up on the logistics for this week we have saved the best for last!

And what exactly may I be referring too? The booze of course, and how much to order for the big day?

This is one of the common questions we are asked when tying up the details. So before I direct you to some great drink calculators that I have found I would suggest that you take a couple of important details into consideration before using them.  My golden rule really is just to “ know your guest”. (based on the couple’s knowledge)  How many are heavy vs. light drinkers, and what do they like beer, liquor or wine? Also take into consideration over-drinking and whether or not that may or may not be an issue. Will there be an open bar and will wine be served during dinner?

Generally I would say it’s safe to guess that most will have two drinks the first hour and one drink per hour thereafter.

Here are those handy calculators I was referring to which should help you crunch the numbers!
