It’s not always the main part of an event, and of course the reason for the celebration should be forefront in the minds of the organisers or guests, but the drinks are important if you want your guests to feel welcome and relaxed.

How many bottles of Champagne do I need for a champagne toast?
The champagne toast is usually an event at the beginning or end of a wedding breakfast meal. This is not a big drink. It’s a taste, a sensible measure, and often it’s a drink that is left by a number of the guests.

How many glasses of champagne per bottle?
- There are six full glasses of champagne per 750ml bottle.
- For a toast you should aim for seven glasses.
Most champagne toasts are done after a fair amount of drinking (after the meal) and this will temper a lot of the guests from downing it all. You can save some budget here for the evening entertainment or food.
Here’s how a 100 person event looks for a champagne toast:
- 15 bottles for a sensible measure (leave a finger of space in the top of the glass).
- 17 if you’re going to give a decent glassful.

How many bottles of champagne do I need for a reception?
Champagne is seen as the choice for an event reception, where budgets permit.

But how many bottles will you need?
This will depend on the way you run your event, but the general rule of thumb is to plan for half a bottle-a-head for a typical drinks reception.
Even with a 90-minute welcome, this amount will give you enough to offer a top up to the guests’ glasses. This is a better way of serving as it saves on glass hire and wasted drinks, poured and placed on a reception table, but not taken.
Here’s how it stacks up for a 100 person reception:
- Just one glass on arrival – 15 bottles.
- Or a glass with top-ups for an hour or so – 48 bottles maximum (half a bottle a head).
You’ll most likely use less when you consider that some people will drink soft drinks or decline the top-up. The above is the most you’ll need in almost all cases.
