Planning christening- beverage option question
We are having my DD's christening out at a restaurant. I have called around to many places in Suffolk county and some offer unlimited beer/wine/soda for 15pp and others pitcher of beer $18, pitcher of soda $10, carafe of wine $22 and punch bowl (sangria or champagne) $50. We are planning to invite 45 adults and 12 kids. Which beverage option is better?

We did this too. If your crowd isn't full of big drinkers, you could even look into just running a tab - being that it's an afternoon party.
I'm not familiar with the other pricing you mentioned (and I worked for awhile in catering). Is it per pitcher/carafe?

Re: Planning christening- beverage option question
we just did beer/wine/soda package.... if we ran a tab for hard liquor then it would be a huge bar bill since there are big drinkers in our families

Re: Planning christening- beverage option question
It all depends if you have big drinkers or not in the family as a whole. We did a tab at one party and it was ridiculous.

Ditto.
We did the beer/wine/soda package.
If anyone wanted anything else they bought it themselves at the bar.

Re: Planning christening- beverage option question
We had 70 adults at DS' christening. We had seven tables in a restaurant. I bought a carafe of wine for each table. (7x$20) If anyone ordered anything additional I told the waitress to run a tab. My bar bill came to $290 (including the wine). It would have cost me $700 if I had had unlimited wine and beer ($10 pp) and $1050 if I had had unlimited beer/wine/liquor ($15 pp).
Run a tab

I would run a tab because you will still have to pay that amount for every person who doesn't drink (think kids, etc)
