Alright. No worries. I met with my “boss” and she managed to see the numbers in a better light so I set everything up with the caterer and we are ready to go.
Thanks for the suggestions though. As for more suggestions? We are buying the beer and wine ourselves so I would love an idea of what you think 40 people would drink.
I think everyone would love Bud Light. And if by some miracle they don’t, I have friend, yeah a friend, who could take the leftovers…
Go to Trader Joe’s. They have a wine right now called Seven Peaks. It is a winery that was in San Luis Obispo but went out of business. Scott and I used to buy the wine at the tasting room for $20.00 a bottle…but Trader Joe’s bought their inventory and are now selling it for $2.99 a bottle. Also, don’t forget that the average person will drink 3 to 5 drinks at a party that lasts 3 to 4 hours. The average bottle of wine yields 4 servings, the average bottle of champagne will yield 6 champagne flutes full, a half barrel keg yields 15.5 gallons of beer which is the equivelent to 200 ten ounce cups of beer. Isn’t it fun planning a big party????? Sorry, I was feeling the need to share the “useless” information I had to use when planning our party. I feel better now that I got to share it with someone!
Bud and Boone’s never goes wrong.
You rock Christy! Thanks for the tips! I love that wine from Trader Joe’s too. Good thought.
Wine for 40 people on the cheap? I have two words for you: Mad Dog. Sure, the antifreeze taste is a little tough to get used to at first, but everyone will have a jolly old time once they get buzzed. Which will be quick, since it’s 46 proof. Be sure to have some valium on hand, in case anyone comes down with hysterical blindness. (Real blindness almost never happens.)
3 buck chuck?
