For the non-drinkers, those sparkly juices and/or flavored pellegrino and a selection of la croix.

Every crowd's different, but I'd be surprised if you need 10 bottles of prosecco. 5 or 6 ought to do you just fine, with about 3 gallons of orange juice. (You won't need that much for the mimosas, but non-drinkers like fresh orange juice too.). You could also have fresh grapefruit juice on hand for the nondrinkers or to mix things up.
(If your crowd is hard-drinking enough to exhaust 6 bottles of prosecco, then you need more than mimosas. Have some vodka or gin on hand.)
Lemonade's also nice, or sparkling apple or pear cider. (They have it at Ikea.)

For 20 people I would get enough to make 2 gallons (that would be plenty for everyone to have 2 6oz glasses with about a pint left over) at 2:1 ratio of Prosecco to OJ that would be 10 3/4 cups of Prosecco to 5 1/4 cups of OJ. As for non-alcoholic I would offer both regular and decaffienated teas (preferably flavored)

Why not buy something like the juices they have at Trader Joe's (they come in tall, slightly fancy glass bottles) and offer them with or without the prosecco? I think there's an OJ one, a pomegranate one that's good, and some lemonade varieties.
How many bottles depends on how much you expect the people to drink. In my circle I'd buy a bottle for every two people at a minimum, so at least ten. Typically people drink less of sparkling wine drinks than other wine because unlike red and white wine glasses, champagne glasses have remained about the same size. Of course, I serve mimosas with a touch of oj and mostly sparkling wine - about like an orangina. You can reduce the amount of alcohol by serving them half oj half wine, but I think that's too sweet.

I am helping to host a bridal shower for about 20 people. I am planning on serving prosecco mimosas. how many bottles of prosecco/fresh orange juice do you think I should buy? What would be an easy non-alcoholic pre-made beverage to serve? iced-tea? lemonade? The shower is at 2 pm.
