Planning for your guests' enjoyment at your wedding often includes accounting for alcohol intake. If you're sponsoring an open bar, make sure that you supply the bartender with enough liquor and mixers — the following table can help you plan.
Note: Amounts noted in the following chart are for 100 guests with a four-hour open bar including cocktail hour. The quantities are mostly in liters because that's how liquor is sold, even in the United States.
| Alcohol | Amount | Beer and wine | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campari | 1 liter | Beer | 2 or 3 cases |
| Gin | 5 liters | Champagne during cocktails | 1-1/2 cases |
| Rum | 2 liters | Wine (white) during cocktails | 1-1/2 cases |
| Scotch | 4 liters | Wine (red) during cocktails | 6 bottles |
| Tequila | 1 liter | Mixers | Amount |
| Vermouth (dry) | 2 750-ml bottles | Club soda | 9 liters |
| Vermouth (sweet) | 2 750-ml bottles | Cola | 14 liters |
| Vodka | 6 liters | Diet cola | 12 liters |
| Whisky (blended) | 1 to 2 liters | Ginger ale | 7 liters |
| Juices (cranberry, orange, grapefruit) | 8 quarts each | ||
| Lemon-lime soda | 7 liters | ||
| Diet lemon-lime | 7 liters | ||

For ice, figure on 1-1/2 pounds per person; 2-1/2 pounds per person if also chilling bottles.
