I'm a bridesmaid and the shower is this weekend. I'm in charge of bringing soda, and I always seem to misjudge how much stuff to bring to parties. I
was thinking of getting regular Coke, diet, something like Sprite and then something random like root beer. Would one twelve pack of each be ok, or should I
get two regular and then one of the others?
How much soda would you buy for 30 people?

Are there going to be other drinks there too? I'd say one 12-pack of each.

i think bottles are a little easier & less waste. You will find half empty cans sitting around that people left and forgot. granted the same is with 2
liters, but at least a glass you can pour a smaller amount.
i would do 2 things of regular pop, 2 of diet, and then one of Sprite & Root Beer. But regular & diet are usually the things most people drink. |

The mom is bringing bottled water and Crystal Light or something. There's no alcohol involved.

Yeah I agree with getting bottles and 6 should be enough especially if there are other drinks

My husband drinks Coke like it's water so I guess getting extra of that wouldn't hurt. We had a Halloween party this past weekend and I bought
waaaaaaaay too much beer. It's mostly Coors Light which neither of us like, but at least soda wouldn't go to waste.

It's also an early afternoon shower so I feel like people would drink less earlier in the day than at night. Especially if they have a long drive home.

I agree with whoever said 2 liter bottles.

^I assumed she meant that if there was a lot of extra Coke, she could take it home.

4-5 12 packs.
2 liters are cheaper, but it's such a pain in the ass to take care of everything with them! |

Definitely get 2 liters. Whenever have parties and have cans, so much soda is wasted because people put their soda down and forget where they put it. At least
with 2 liters, you can put your name on your cup. To answer the question though, I'd get 5 2 liters. 2 coke, 2 diet coke, 1 sprite, and 1 other thing like
root beer or orange.

My aunt buys 2 liter bottles when its just the family coming over (2 coke, 1 sprite, 1 diet coke, 1 diet sprite, and then usually one bottle of rootbeer or
pepsi in case anyone doesn't like coke). I always buy extra because its better to have more instead of running out.

For sure do something without caffiene. People dont remember that a lot.

I decided to go with cans because they ended up being cheaper than me having to buy cups too, plus I had a coupon that was only good on cans. Plus if a 2 liter
isn't finished it goes flat so fast.
I got 2 coke, 1 diet, 1 sprite, and 1 lemonade. Thanks for the help guys! |
