Weekend Party Prep: An Edmonton Checklist

A good party runs on preparation, and the bar is where preparation pays off most. Run out of drinks halfway through and the energy dips; over-prepare slightly and you look like a host who has it together. Here is a checklist that gets you there.

Two weeks of planning in five minutes

You do not need a spreadsheet. You need to answer three questions: how many people, how long, and what do they drink? Everything else follows from that.

The headcount math

• Beer drinkers: 3–4 each for the night.
• Wine drinkers: a bottle serves about 4–5 glasses, so plan one bottle per two wine drinkers.
• Spirits crowd: one 750ml bottle covers roughly 16 standard drinks — pair it with plenty of mix and ice.

Round up everywhere. Unopened bottles keep for the next one; a dry bar at 11 p.m. does not.

Don't forget the supporting cast

• Mix: soda, tonic, juice, ginger ale. The thing people forget until the first cocktail.
• Ice: always more than you think. It disappears fast.
• Non-alcoholic options: for designated drivers and guests taking it easy.
• Chasers and garnish: small details that make the bar feel finished.

The backup plan is the real secret

Even perfect prep meets an imperfect turnout. The mark of a relaxed host is knowing the refill is handled: save 403-559-6928 and you can restock mid-party without leaving. We deliver across Edmonton around the clock, so the second wave is always covered.

One last thing

Have a plan for guests getting home — cabs, rideshares, designated drivers. A great weekend party is one everyone remembers for the right reasons. And if the bar needs a boost at any point, you know the number.
