How Much is Enough?

Below is a rough estimate of the things you'll need for a 100-person wedding.

Remember to adjust this list if you have to. If you know that the guys are all beer drinkers and that the ladies won't touch the hard stuff, adjust the calculations accordingly: wine coolers might have to be part of your shopping list. The same goes for if your guests have a refined palate and only like the best top-shelf scotches, fine cognac, and exquisite wine .

•Champagne: One and a half cases (or nine bottles minimum), but if your guests like their bubbly, you should get between 12 and 24 bottles. To cut costs, opt for Prosecco , Cava , or sparkling wine in lieu of champagne .
•Red wine: Twelve to 48 bottles or one to four cases of red wine .
•White wine: 48 to 72 bottles or four to six cases of white wine .
•Beer: Two cases minimum, but you may want to have up to four or five cases if your pals love brewskies. Be sure though to vary the selection according to people's tastes. Offer domestics , lites , and imports . Remember that while Budweiser might fly with some, beer lovers who have traveled the world and tasted new and exciting suds might appreciate a classy Belgian ale . Also keep in mind the time of the year: summer months deserve a light hoppy IPA or a zippy wheat beer , while a nuttier, richer stout could do wonders in a winter wonderland wedding.
