Graduation party figuring out drinks per person?

[Anonymous]

How many of each non alcoholic mix of drinks ( soda, water, seltzer water)should I buy for 50 adults 20 teens.
This is indoor lunch party ( noon to 3) and soda is least popular with this party guests.

Are you also offering alcoholic drinks?

Please add lemonade or some kind of juice. Otherwise non soda drinkers are stuck with water (boring) or seltzer (some people don’t like).

I'd add iced tea or lemonade. Tap water as the only option for people who don't do fizzy is odd.

I'd figure 2 per person for adults, 3 for teens, though most will have only 1, so you can average it by saying 2 per person. Different if outdoors and hot; different if alcohol is served.

I feel like many people choose water if they do not do soda. More people want a healthy or lo cal choice then just not fizzy.

Then you also must provide tea and lemonade. What a boring party. I’d plan on 2.5 drinks per guest, but that’s probably a lot since you’re such a horrible host.

It is not boring party, the food and cake are great.

Because she’s offering water, or soda which she admits her guests don’t like. There are a million other non alcoholic beverages.

Go to the store. Get a bunch of 12 pack cans. Stick in ice cooler and let people choose. Do a combo of Minute Maid lemonade, Arnold Palmer iced tea, seltzer water and some Coke and Sprite with an added diet thrown in there. For 70 people plan on 3 each which comes out to 17-18 boxes of assorted drinks. Add some single serve plain water from Costco in 12 or 16 oz bottles. There’s usually a good sale. Buy stuff you like for when there are leftovers.

I agree w/ this because you can really overbuy. Go ahead and buy 2-3 per person, and you won’t run out. Any extras, you can keep for a long time for your family later.

If you have some pitcher drinks use the sodas, as I said, as your overpreparing backup.

A sit down lunch party for a graduation party? That's ... different. But okay I'd say ... add a more "fun" drink - apple juice, iced tea, whatever and buy a lot extra of all of it. Drinks don't go bad. You can use them up throughout the summer - always better to have too much than too little.

I would say at least 3 per person and have a lot of bottled water.

If you require alcohol to enjoy a party, consider getting help.
