Frequently Asked Questions
How many crates of drinks do I need for 100 guests?
For a 4-hour event with 100 guests: approximately 4–5 crates of beer (96–120 bottles), 3–4 crates of soft drinks (36–48 bottles), and 10–15 cartons of water. This assumes a mixed adult crowd. Always add 15–20% buffer for unexpected guests.
How many bottles are in a crate in Nigeria?
Standard Nigerian drinks crates: Beer (Star, Gulder, Heineken) = 24 bottles per crate. Soft drinks (Coke, Fanta, Sprite in 60cl) = 12 bottles per crate. Maltina/malt drinks = 24 per crate. Water (1.5L) = 12 per carton.
Should I buy more drinks for an outdoor event?
Yes. Outdoor events in Nigerian heat typically require 25–30% more drinks, especially water and soft drinks. Guests drink more when hot. For outdoor day events, prioritise chilled water, malt, and soft drinks. Always have more than enough — many vendors allow returns of unopened bottles.
How do I keep drinks cold for an outdoor party?
Options: hire a cold room van (₦30,000–₦80,000/day), use large ice coolers (buy ice blocks from frozen food markets), or rent commercial refrigerators. For small events, buy drinks cold the morning of and keep in covered coolers. Never serve warm drinks at a Nigerian party.
