Alcohol Question

I think that sounds fine. I don't believe you wil get heavy drinkers on a Sunday. I would keep the beer, most guys like beer, wine of course, and the punch sounds like a good idea. What if you do a sweeter voldka based punch and a more tropical rum based punch, this way all bases are covered.

I actually did this at my wedding. It was an evening wedding and I had a bar with beer, wine (red & white options and a white zinfandel) and champagne. It went great. People ate, drank and were very merry! ;-)

 

Not that they would tell me, but I didn't hear (or hear of) a single comment after the fact that people were disappointed by our beverage options. We know a lot of wine drinkers though...and those that aren't seem to be beer drinkers. (is that a Texas thing?) So everyone seemed really happy - we were left with just a smidge of beer in one of the kegs by the end of the night.

 

If you need help w/ how much to buy, I can look over our stuff for you and let you know what we got so you can start shopping/budgeting. Our group was larger - about 145 people - but we might be able to do a little tricky math and figure it out from there. ;-)

 

Just let me know! Also, I think I know of a handy little drink calculator that might work for you too. I'll see if I can find it.

Here's one that might work:

Thanks Rachelle! Im going to check that calculator out.

Im really thinking we will just go with a punch. A lot of people will be driving up from the city and not stay overnight so I cant see a lot of people drinking. I think most of the drinkers will be our friends and they all drink beer.

Does anyone have any good recipes for punch?

[Rachelle E.]

one of my favorite sites has great recipes...I have one from there that I really like...although it's not a pretty color unfortunately. Tastes GREAT though...served it at a party and it was a hit. I'll find it for you just in case.

 

Anyway, the website is:

Drinking at Epicurious.com

 

just enter your search citeria and have at it! I've had pretty good luck finding stuff on this site over the years. Also, they may have a drink calcualtor on there as well.

I just used that calculator and it was great!! I would never have thought to look for one! Thanks for all your help!!

here's the one I made for my Halloween party last year. It was really yummy! I think I doubled the recipe for the party...and it made a BIG bowlful.
