Frequently Asked Questions
How much alcohol do I need for a bachelorette party of 10 people?
For one 4-hour session with 10 drinking guests, the default Cocktail Crowd estimate reserves 50 servings: 10 beers (1 case), 2 wine bottles, and 2 liquor bottles. The buffer is off by default. Treat this as inventory, not a consumption target, and calculate each weekend session separately.
What are the best drinks for a bachelorette party?
Choose drinks the group actually likes and that your venue can serve safely. A short menu might combine one batch cocktail, one wine or sparkling option, beer or seltzer, and equally visible alcohol-free choices.
How do I calculate drinks for a bachelorette weekend?
Plan each gathering separately rather than turning the whole weekend into a consumption target. Sipulus budgets 2 servings per drinking guest in the first hour and 1 per later hour, then lets you exclude non-drinkers and optionally add a 20% purchasing buffer. Include substantial food, water and alcohol-free choices at every session.
Should I make batch cocktails for a bachelorette?
Batch cocktails can simplify service, but the yield depends on the recipe and pour size. Choose a recipe with a stated serving yield, scale it to the liquor allocation, label it clearly, keep it chilled, and provide measured pours rather than unrestricted self-service.
What should each person bring to a bachelorette party?
Start with the calculator result, decide the exact menu, and assign specific items from one shared list. Coordinating beer, wine, liquor, mixers, water, alcohol-free drinks, ice, and garnishes prevents duplicate bottles and missing essentials.
How much does alcohol cost for a bachelorette party?
The calculator shows a retail range for its beer, wine, and liquor quantities. Actual prices depend on products and location; mixers, food, ice, delivery, venue service, and bar purchases are not included.
