How We Calculated This
Our bartender-tested formula, step by step
Estimate actual drinkers
At large events, about 70% of guests typically drink alcohol.
Calculate base consumption
Industry standard is 1.5 drinks per person per hour for a 3-hour event.
Apply consumption decay
People drink faster in the first hour and slow down as the event progresses.
Apply wedding shower modifier
Wedding Showers typically consume 80% more champagne than average.
Convert to bottles
Each bottle of champagne provides 6 servings.
Add 15% buffer & round up
Always round up and add a buffer. Running out is worse than having leftovers!
Based on industry standards and refined by bartenders with 30+ years of experience. We factor in consumption decay (people drink less as events progress) and real-world drinking percentages.

The Host's Secret
Editorial Curation
"Mimosa bars are the gold standard. Stock 1 bottle of sparkling per 3 guests, plus orange juice and peach nectar for variety."
"Skip heavy reds. Go 70% white/rosé (Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc) and 30% light red (Pinot Noir)."
"Create one signature cocktail (Aperol Spritz, French 75) and batch it ahead of time - plan 2 servings per guest."
"25-30% of guests won't drink alcohol. Offer elegant non-alcoholic options like mocktails or flavored sparkling water."
"Afternoon timing means lower consumption - most guests have 1-2 drinks max."
Buying Guide
For a 2-3 hour afternoon shower, plan for 1.3 drinks per guest. Champagne and wine dominate - stock 1 bottle of sparkling per 3 guests for mimosas, plus 1 wine bottle per 2 drinking guests. Buy 10-15% extra; unopened bottles can be returned or saved for the wedding. Prosecco is cost-effective for mimosas; save real Champagne for the toast.
