How much soda to buy?

Barbara, on August 10, 2014 at 1:32 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 2 6

Our reception is going to be five hours long. We are serving a full southern barbecue for dinner and having country dancing afterwards. We are offering coke, diet coke, sprite, sweet tea, unsweetened tea, water, and strawberry lemonade. The lemonade and sweet tea or going to be made by us ahead of time (the lemonade will be the powdered mix). We are calculating using 100 guests.

1. How many two liter bottles of each type of soda do I need?

2. How many gallons of unsweetened tea should I budget for?

All help will be appreciated. I have looked at many sites and have just gotten more and more confused by all the equations that they use to figure it out.

    Kind of hard to read on here ! It recommend 6 12 packs for 24 guests and the following says 4 gallons of lemonade / tea for 25 guests if not serving alcohol 2 gallons per 25 if you are

    Why not do cans so guests aren't having to pour soda? They can just grab and go.

    Guests aren't pouring their own sodas since we have a drink station attendant. As for cans...they are so much pricier than the two liters and we are on a very tight budget.

    I used an online drink calculator and it said to buy 28 two liters for my 70 guests.

    Caylin, Did you have enough for your wedding? Did you run out of one type or have to many of another? I would rather have leftovers than run out. T.I.A. AnnMarie
