Party planning ?

I need to buy 2 liter bottles of soda-

How many bottle total- should I get to serve about 65-70 people?

Do you definitely want 2 liter bottles?

Cause Stop and Shop has Pepsi (regular and diet and other brands) 4 for $10 and a mail in rebate for $10 back - so it is all for free.

Thats what I got for Ali's Christening.

I would say 4 or 5 people to a bottle, but are you having beer or water too? I think more people are drinking water bottles now than soda.

I would get maybe 2 or 3 24-packs of poland spring, 15 bottles of soda, and beer.

I'd do cans instead

Re: Party planning ?

Based on what I've gotten in the past I would get

14 Coke/Pepsi
6 Diet
12 Sprite
2 GingerAle


I always have leftover but not much. I hate to run out.

Last couple of parties I did not buy enough water, so many people are drinking tons of water these days. So I found that and juice boxes went more than the soda for the non drinkers.

(Note - There are about (10) 8-ounce glasses of soda in a 2-liter bottle but party cups are usually 16 ozs)

Marcie- what size was that rebate thing all about?


I will have beer and bottle of water there as well...

Re: Party planning ?

I think it depends on what else you're serving and what type of crowd it is. Also, how long is the party?

Re: Party planning ?

Its my sons 1st B-day party

It starts at 2- and goes until everyone goes home....(since its in the backyard- that will depend on the weather.... and truthfully- the later crowd- will be drinking the beer)

Im serving heros, wings, chicken fran, baked ziti, salads, sausage and pepers, cake and goodies!

See I didnt wanna do cans because I just feel like they get wasted so easily....

Someone opens a can- cant remember where they put it... etc....

I dont know what to do

Re: Party planning ?

We usually go with cans. It may be a little more in the long run but less waste and hassle in IMO because you can just store unopened cans where half used bottles will just end up getting flat.
