Service Plan for 25 Guests

For a medium party, plan on approximately 25 total servings over a 3-hour event. Keep a 10-15% buffer so you can handle late arrivals and heavier-than-average consumption.

Since juice is often a base beverage, stage replacement stock in coolers so the serving area stays full without crowding guests.

  • Prep checklist: 30+ cups, 38+ lbs of ice, and backup storage nearby.
  • Chill strategy: pre-chill at least 70% before service to reduce ice melt and dilution.
  • Replenishment cadence: refresh serving stations every 30-45 minutes instead of all at once.
