Party profile alcohol estimate for 100 wedding guests

For 100 adult guests over about 5 hours using the party profile, the estimate below increases the planning total. Use this only if it reflects the guest group and venue service plan; it is not a recommendation to encourage overconsumption.

How to use this guest-count example

This example uses 100 adult guests, 5 hours of bar service, and a party drinking profile. The calculator produces a shopping-list estimate, so the result should be reviewed against the actual schedule, guest mix, and venue rules.

• Count adult guests who may drink alcohol, not the total invitation count.
• Use the hours when drinks are served, not automatically the full venue hire period.
• Use the party profile only when it genuinely reflects the group and service plan.

Before turning it into an order

The example splits 826 estimated drinks into wine, beer, and spirits using the entered percentages. Convert the rounded bottles and cans into supplier case sizes before buying.

• Plan water, soft drinks, alcohol-free options, ice, glassware, and garnishes separately.
• Ask whether unopened bottles or cases can be returned.
• Follow venue rules, licensing requirements, and responsible-service limits.
