Alcohol Calculator Feature
One of the key tasks in wedding planning is calculating the right amount of drinks. This ensures you avoid overspending, have enough for everyone, and cater to your guests’ preferences. Our alcohol calculator provides a simple way to account for every detail—from the number of guests to the planned budget—making your celebration flawless.
How to Use the Alcohol Calculator
1. Access the Alcohol Calculator
From the app’s main screen, select the "Drinks" card. Here, you’ll see a preliminary estimate of champagne, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks needed.
Why it matters:
This gives you an overview of your drink distribution and helps assess if the budget is sufficient.
2. Enter the Number of Guests
Specify how many men and women will attend the wedding.
Example:
- Men: 30
- Women: 20
Why it matters:
Different groups of guests have varying preferences. For instance, men may lean towards spirits, while women might prefer wine or champagne.
3. Specify the Event Duration
Enter the total duration of the wedding.
Example:
- Cocktail hour: 1 hour
- Main banquet: 5 hours
Why it matters:
Longer events require more drinks. Proper planning prevents running out of beverages mid-event.
4. Indicate the Wedding Season
Select the season of your wedding: winter, spring, summer, or fall.
Why it matters:
In hot weather, guests tend to consume more non-alcoholic drinks, whereas winter weddings often favor spirits.
5. Specify if a Cocktail Hour is Planned
Note whether a cocktail hour will precede the main banquet.
Example:
For a cocktail hour, include champagne and light cocktails in the plan.
Why it matters:
The cocktail hour is a key social moment, allowing guests to mingle. It ensures drinks are appropriately allocated across all wedding phases.
6. Define Your Budget and Drinking Style
Enter your alcohol budget and choose one of three consumption styles:
- Moderate (1-2 drinks per person).
- Average (3-4 drinks).
- Heavy (5+ drinks).
Why it matters:
These details allow the calculator to adjust drink quantities within your budget. For instance, with a tight budget, you can reduce spirits and increase wine allocation.
7. Get Your Calculation
The calculator will provide a detailed breakdown:
- Champagne: 10 bottles.
