Plan for 2-3 mimosas per guest. One bottle of sparkling wine makes 6-8 mimosas. For 20 guests, you need 6-8 bottles of Prosecco or champagne. For 30 guests, plan for 10-12 bottles. Always buy extra since unopened bottles can usually be returned.
For a 2-3 hour bridal shower with 25 guests, plan for about 50-75 drinks total (2-3 per guest). That is roughly 10-15 bottles of wine if serving wine only, or 6-8 bottles if also offering mimosas and other options.
Mimosas are the most popular choice for bridal showers, especially for brunch events. Also consider: a DIY mimosa bar with juice options, white wine or rosé, sangria for summer showers, sparkling water for non-drinkers, and optionally a signature cocktail.
Yes, light alcohol like mimosas and wine is common at bridal showers. However, keep it moderate - most guests are driving and it is typically an afternoon event. Always provide non-alcoholic options and consider guests who may not drink.
Set up bottles of chilled sparkling wine with carafes of juice: orange juice (most popular), peach nectar, cranberry, and grapefruit. Add fresh fruit garnishes like strawberries and raspberries. Provide champagne flutes and a small sign with instructions.
For a 25-person bridal shower, budget $75-150 for a mimosa bar (6-10 bottles of Prosecco at $10-15 each plus juices). For wine only, plan $80-200 depending on quality. Higher-end champagne will increase costs significantly.
