quick party drink question:
I'm having a 2nd bday party for DD next Sat.
There will be 15 little kids and about 35 adults.
Can I get away without serving soda??
I'm having two glass jugs full of lemonade & iced tea, bottled water, a keg, (I have wine/sangria too) and honest kids juice boxes for the little ones. Obv. coffee at cake time.
Would you think it weird if there weren't cans of soda?

Re: quick party drink question:
how long is the party? I dont know that if its hot and outside, that 2 jugs of a beverage is going to be enough.

Re: quick party drink question:
I did the same thing as you. I had some cans of soda in the fridge in case someone asked. No one did.

They are big glass serving jugs that I can replenish as needed.

Re: quick party drink question:
You could do it - but I would have at least a couple of bottles of diet pop on hand. You don't need to get cans.. just a few 2 liter bottles. Even store brand is fine in case someone asks.

Re: quick party drink question:
I would probably get just a couple bottles of soda maybe two diet two regular. Some people (like my dad) really only drink soda.

Re: quick party drink question:
I would pick up a few bottles just in case. I know people who do not drink lemonade, iced tea, or water.

Yes, I think it would be weird not to serve soda at a party. To me that's like not having coffee available with cake.

Even though I don't drink soda, I would expect there to be some at a party.

Re: quick party drink question:
Nancy, at my MD shower we had almost the same setup. A refillable container of lemonade, unsweetened iced tea, water and wine. I put out a coke and coke zero and no one touched them. I don't think most people drink soda anymore, but that's just me.

OK. I bought a few cases of flavored sparkling water, and I'll buy some bottles of Diet Coke/ Diet Sprite.
My main concern was all the little kids opening and not finishing cans of coke and leaving them 3/4 full all over the place (not to mention being hopped up on caffeine!)
