Overview

A standard wedding bar follows the 'one drink per person per hour' rule. However, the first hour usually sees 2 drinks per person as guests arrive and mingle.

💡

Pro Tips

Identify your crowd: Are they heavy beer drinkers or wine enthusiasts?
Calculate total drinks: (Guests × Hours) + (Guests for the first hour).
Convert to bottles: 1 wine bottle = 5 glasses; 1 liquor bottle = 18 drinks.
Consider the season: Summer weddings favor beer and white wine; winter favors red wine and spirits.

Fun Facts

"A standard 750ml bottle of wine contains about 5 servings, but for champagne toasts, a bottle usually stretches to 8 or 9 small pours!"
