Bach Party Drink Tips

  • Pre-mix cocktails in pitchers before the party
  • No one has to play bartender all night
  • Guests serve themselves = more fun
  • Make 1 pitcher per 6-8 servings

Splitting Costs

  • Bride drinks free - split her share among guests
  • Assign each person a bottle to bring
  • Budget $30-50 per person for a weekend
  • Use Venmo/Splitwise to track expenses

Frequently Asked Questions

How much alcohol do I need for a bachelorette party of 10 people?

For a 10-person bachelorette weekend, plan for heavier drinking than typical events. For one evening (4-5 hours), estimate 40-50 drinks: about 10-12 bottles of wine or champagne, or 2-3 bottles of liquor for cocktails, plus mixers. For a full weekend, multiply by 2-3.

What are the best drinks for a bachelorette party?

Popular bach party drinks include: Aperol Spritz, Espresso Martinis, Rosé all day, Margaritas, Cosmopolitans, Champagne/Prosecco, and signature batch cocktails. Pink and bubbly drinks are classic bachelorette favorites.

How do I calculate drinks for a bachelorette weekend?

Plan 1 drink per person per hour, then add 25% buffer for bachelorettes. For a 10-person weekend: Day 1 evening (5 hours) = 60 drinks, Day 2 daytime (6 hours) = 75 drinks, Day 2 evening (5 hours) = 60 drinks. Total = 195 drinks or about 20-25 bottles of wine equivalent.

Should I make batch cocktails for a bachelorette?

Yes. Batch cocktails are perfect for bachelorettes because no one has to play bartender. Make pitchers of margaritas, sangria, or spritzes ahead of time. Guests can self-serve while you enjoy the party. Prepare 1 pitcher per 6-8 servings.

What should each person bring to a bachelorette party?

Common contributions: the bride brings nothing (guests cover her). Each guest can bring a bottle of the bride favorite (rosé, tequila, champagne). The maid of honor often coordinates so there is variety. Vodka, tequila, and rosé are always safe bets.

How much does alcohol cost for a bachelorette party?

For a 10-person bachelorette weekend at an Airbnb, budget $300-500 total for alcohol ($30-50 per person). Single-night parties run $150-300. Split costs evenly among guests, excluding the bride. Buying in bulk and making batch cocktails saves money.
