Party Drink Tips
Don't Forget the Ice
Plan for 1-1.5 lbs of ice per person. You need ice for drinks AND for keeping drinks cold in coolers.
Variety is Key
Always offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Some guests don't drink, and everyone needs water.
Event Length Matters
2-hour party needs less than a 5-hour event. Our calculators account for standard 3-hour parties.
