Never more than 50% of the people dance at any one time.

*These numbers are just a guideline.  The number of glasses required depends on the event.  A wedding will require different glasses than a family reunion or barbecue.  This is where your caterer or a professional bartender should assist.

* Remember you may need a Special Occasion Permit!

*Don't forget the juice & soft drink glasses
