Tips for Serving Mimosa to 50 Guests

  • โœ“ Use sparkling wine to save money
  • โœ“ Fresh-squeezed OJ tastes best
  • โœ“ Set up a mimosa bar with different juices
  • โœ“ Keep everything ice cold
  • โœ“ Offer a non-alcoholic version with sparkling water

Service Plan for 50 Guests

For a large party, plan on approximately 125 total servings over a 3-hour event. Keep a 10-15% buffer so you can handle late arrivals and heavier-than-average consumption.

Because mimosa is typically served alongside other drinks, set a second non-alcoholic option to avoid over-concentration on a single beverage and reduce stockout risk.

  • Prep checklist: 150+ cups, 75+ 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.
