Just that really, it is such an unknown and I am terrified of running out but at the same time I do not have limitless funds. Out venue will not allow the sale of alcohol (but serving it is fine) so mobile bar and temporary licence out of the question.
Summer wedding, approximately 80-90 guests, mix of wine/beer/cider/some spirits/soft drinks.
I have done all the calculators online which help you guesstimate but whenever I come up with a figure I have family members piling me in telling me it won't be enough and I need to double it!
So far I am thinking 30 bottles of red (its summer, no red meat being served) 60 bottles of white, 400 bottles of beer, 30 bottles of that awful fruit cider stuff, a litre bottle of vodka, gin, whiskey. 2 jugs of pimms and then a ton of soft drinks/water. Doubling just seems wildly excessive.
So please share your wisdom and experience!
P.s. If I didn't serve any sparkling wine or served sparking wine but not champagne would you think this a massive faux pas?
