A wedding is a bright event in the life of a couple in love. During the organization of the celebration, the newlyweds have to think through everything to the smallest detail. The gastronomic component is an important point, which includes the choice of dishes and alcoholic beverages. The bride and groom should take into account the tastes of all invited people. Otherwise, the guests will be dissatisfied, or even go to the nearest store and buy what they want. It is impossible to take into account the individual preferences of everyone, so drinks should be chosen “by gender”. Consider which alcohol ladies prefer, and which men prefer. Let’s calculate how much alcohol is enough to meet the needs of the entire banquet hall.
What drinks to choose for a wedding?
Before booking a restaurant, compiling a menu and choosing drinks, you need to decide on the format of the celebration. A chamber wedding does not require a lot of alcohol, as there will be few invited guests. Newlyweds will be able to independently interview each to find out personal preferences. Based on the information received, you can easily create a menu.
As for a wedding of 50 people, this method will not help here. It is impossible to interview everyone, so you should prepare a standard pool of drinks. Here are some preparation tips:
- A win-win option for any table will be a combination of different types of champagne, white and red wine, both dry and semi-sweet, as well as two varieties of spirits, one of which is usually vodka.
- Putting 40-year-old cognac on the table just because one of the guests prefers it is inappropriate. Elite alcohol should be bought only if the newlyweds are ready to pay for all expensive drinks without compromising the budget.
- Wedding drinks for the bride and groom should be weak. Newlyweds need to relax, not get drunk. Moreover, the guests’ eyes will be focused on them all evening.
If the concept of the event allows, it is possible to organize wine or rare beer tasting for guests. It will be not only interesting and informative, but also very original. In order to translate this idea into reality, it is necessary with all responsibility to approach the choice of a leader who will help with this. There are many ways to find a leader, but today’s young people usually look for a leader in social networks, with acquaintances and friends, or, on the edge, on the Internet. There are many sites and portals where real professionals post their profiles, for example, profi.ru or artist.ru.
How to calculate the required amount of alcohol for a wedding?
First, the newlyweds need to calculate the total number of guests, highlighting those who drink alcohol. Champagne, wine and spirits will accompany guests throughout the event. The amount of vodka, cognac, liquor is determined at the rate of 0,5 liters per person. The number of liters of “light” alcohol should be equal to the number of guests.
For the bride and groom, 2 bottles are provided to decorate the table, and 2 bottles for the banquet. If the wedding involves a ransom, then at least 5 more liters of alcohol “to warm up” will be required to conduct it. In any case, you should buy alcohol with a margin so as not to run for an additive to the store.
