Alcohol calculator for wedding: The wedding toast

Although it’s a very important moment in your wedding, it’s also when the most liquor is wasted. Don’t worry, we tell you how much liquor to buy for wedding.
First, take into account that on average, there are 8 glasses per bottle of champagne. Divide the number of guests by 8 to determine the bottles needed. Subtract children, pregnant women and people you know in advance not to drink from your list. The champagne is just the pretext to create the specific atmosphere of the moment and to toast the newlyweds, you don’t need too much.

Our tip: ask the bar service for wedding  to ask your guests whether they would like a glass of champagne or not for the toast, before serving them. A lot of liquor is wasted at this time because most guests leave their glasses untouched.
