Apply consumption decay
People drink faster in the first hour and slow down as the event progresses.
Apply new year's eve party modifier

Convert to bottles
Each bottle of champagne provides 6 servings.
Add 15% buffer & round up
Always round up and add a buffer. Running out is worse than having leftovers!

The Host's Secret
Editorial Curation
"70% of champagne is consumed between 11:30pm and 12:15am - time your chilling."
"Have champagne COLD and ready to pour at 11:55pm."
"People pace themselves until 10pm then drinking accelerates."
"Late-night parties need designated drivers or Uber - plan ahead."
"Noisemakers and party favors should be near the champagne station."
Buying Guide
This is THE champagne event. Plan 1 bottle per 3-4 guests for the midnight toast, plus additional for cocktails (French 75s, Kir Royale). Have regular bar options for earlier in the evening. Stock more than you think - better to have leftovers than run out at midnight.
