Know Your Crowd

The key to planning well is to think about your guests. Here are a few things to consider:

  • The drinking habits of your guests (think about beer & cocktail drinkers, DDs, and others who may abstain)
  • Other beverages you may be serving
  • The amount of food you’re making
  • The length of your event
  • The alcohol content (ABV) of the wines you’ve chosen
  • Random guests who show up uninvited
