How many bottles for how many guests

Caterers tend to quote per head and leave you to trust them. Here is the arithmetic so you can check it yourself.

Plan on two 200 ml glasses per guest for a dinner function, and three if it is a daytime event in summer or there is no other cold drink on the table. That is roughly 400–600 ml a head.

GuestsVolume needed1000 ml bottlesBundles
100~50 litres509
250~125 litres12521
400~200 litres20034
600~300 litres30050
1000~500 litres50084

A 1000 ml bundle is six bottles. Notice where 400 guests lands - just under the 35-bundle trade threshold. If your count is anywhere near that line it is worth reading the next section before you order.

02

What changes at 35 bundles

Trade pricing starts at 35 bundles and applies to the whole order, not just the bottles above the threshold. It is a flat per-bottle rate:

BottleRetailTrade (35+ bundles)
250 mlRs 80Rs 60
500 mlRs 130Rs 90
1000 mlRs 240Rs 170

You can mix flavours and sizes to reach 35. The threshold counts bundles, not matching ones. A 400-guest wedding at 34 bundles is one bundle short of a materially cheaper order - rounding up is almost always the better decision.

Full trade terms, including how repeat supply works for shops and cafes, are on the wholesale page.

03

Which bottle size for an event

This decision affects your staffing more than your budget, so it is worth thinking about properly.

1000 ml - seated dinners

Cheapest per litre, and the right answer when there are waiters pouring at tables. One bottle serves a table of five. The downside is that it needs someone to pour, and a part-used bottle standing on a table in June stops being appealing quickly.

250 ml - standing receptions, mehndi, corporate

More expensive per litre and worth it. Guests take one, nobody queues at a jug, and you have no waste from half-finished bottles. It also looks considerably better in photographs, which at a shadi is not a trivial point.

500 ml - the hedge

Splits the difference and works for smaller functions of under a hundred, or as the overflow stock you open only if the evening runs long.

A common split for a large wedding: 250 ml for the welcome and the mehndi, 1000 ml for the seated dinner service.

The logistics nobody mentions

  • Chilling is your problem, not the venue's. Most marquee venues have nowhere near the fridge space for 200 bottles. Budget for ice and two or three large coolers, and ask the venue in writing what they can actually chill.
  • Order to arrive the day before. Same-day delivery into a wedding venue is asking for trouble - traffic, access, and nobody with authority to receive it.
  • Name a person who will take delivery. Give us their number on the confirmation call. "The hall manager" is not a phone number.
  • Add about ten per cent. Guest counts at Pakistani weddings go one direction. Unopened bottles keep; running out at nine o'clock cannot be fixed.
  • Check the access. Two hundred bottles is heavy. If it is a first-floor hall with no lift, say so in advance.
05

How to place a bulk order

There is no online checkout for large orders, by design - the details matter too much to leave to a form.

  • Tell us the date, the venue, the guest count and your flavour preference.
  • We confirm the bundle maths, the price and the delivery window by phone.
  • Payment is cash on delivery, or bank transfer for trade orders.

Two weeks' notice is comfortable for a large function. We can usually do considerably less, but flavour choice narrows as the date gets closer, and during wedding season it narrows fast.
