100 gallons seems like a bunch for 200 people. Not in WI or northern MN it ain't. Any leftovers will be lapped up the next day or in the coming week, for sure. Beer drinkers I guess. Not as popular here.

Some places will provide cups when you buy kegs. If not, sleeves of 16oz plastic is pretty cheap. I dispute this. I bought a 100 off brand red solo cups the other day, just ran into dollar store, grabbed em and ran to cash register. It was almost $17. I stopped for a second amd almost vomited. $45 for a 1000 https://www.webstaurantstore.com/ch..._grzjhAMVSXV_AB03QgB_EAQYAiABEgJf2vD_BwE

100 gallons seems like a bunch for 200 people. that’s only 2 gallons/20 beers apiece. At least there’s a liquor bar too or people would be going home half sober.

Well, he's right you know, depending on how long the reception lasts. At least when I was a drinkin' man. What time you starting? Jack, I don't remember what's worser, going home half sober or all the way sober. I seem to remember if I was half sober I'd have to stop on the way home to finish the job. I said seem to remember as I don't recall it happening much with the friends I had.

I love to drink beer especially in a place where it's quick and easy to go take a whiz.

Pay for the honeymoon?
That's the silliest thing I have ever heard. My thoughts as well. I agree. I am almost 71 and NEVER heard about this “tradition”. I don't mind, they're good for one another and I can - so I am. He didn't ask, I offered once he told me he was getting married. Not "minding" just new to me. My two sons spent their honeymoon in north Idaho so I guess I paid.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Bud Light with a huge barrel of Doritos for snacks. Can't go wrong with that. L.W. Beat me to it . . . . BMT

Just had a nephew get married and was amazed at the new wave web-based process. In the invitation, one is encouraged to log into their online "wants page" where he is invited to fund every imaginable honeymoon/marriage aspect like flowers, plane tickets, jet ski sessions, ziplining, 5-star dinners, tickets to entertainment, dinner seats at the captain's table, reef diving sessions, $250 place settings, king sized bed, new camera and lens, dove flights, limo service, nights at the hotel, etc. Do the purchase and the item drops off the list.
All that on top of doing the deed at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs when he's from Pennsylvania and she's from Florida. No idea who paid for that. Travel and lodging alone would have run us about 4 grand. We mailed a check.
Sh-t! We were born 50 years too early and were happy for items like blankets, towels, can openers, sheets, frying pans, toasters, etc, and were married around the corner in the local church with Cookie making her own dress. I don't think we spent a total of $200 on our entire 4-day honeymoon in Gatlinburg, Tenn, and except for $20, that honeymoon came out of my pocket.
Have a hunting buddy that spent about $35K on the only daughter's wedding about 10 years back, and the marriage lasted almost 6 weeks. Really only about 3 weeks, but the divorce paperwork took 6. Such would have paid for our first home with money left over.

Make sure nobody’s stealing bottles from the open bar. GF volunteered to pay for the bar at her nephew's reception. Both guests and help were caught stealing bottles. Word to the wise.

Daughter is getting married next month, in our little church.
The reception is in the basement.
Guys at work can't fathom a wedding that's not a drunkfest.
I can't fathom the need to get drunk to be present and celebrate the marriage of these two kids.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Teal, I’m late into this one, but back to your original question, I agree on the Miller Lite, but as a Wisconsin guy Spotted Cow, a Wisconsin only beer out of New Glarus, has become my own and a lot of people’s favorite. Heineken goes over pretty well at my house too, but I like Spotted Cow the best.
My other auto is a .45

Do your son and his close buddies have a go to beer? Get that for sure if so. I'd also ask the place your buying kegs from, they can give you good solid info. Buy 1 more of the main and one more of the full flavor than you think you'll need. Also, can likely return untapped as long as they are kept cold
