40 Birthday Dinner

Hi
I’ve booked a restaurant with great reviews and invited 12 of DH and our closest friends (more likely to be around 9 of us) for his birthday. Regarding cost, it’s coming in at £45 pp with a glass of Prosecco on arrival. I don’t know if i should pay for meals only or wine/beers/spirits? Husband friends are all BIG drinkers so I am thinking just food and maybe a bottle of wine or two and also don’t know what people will expect. I tend to overthink these things and worry about looking cheap.

I would cover the food and some bottles of wine for the table . But I’d expect guests to pay for any other drinks themselves.
