 |
|
Hi, i'm celebrating my wedding on July 12, 2008. My guest list is of approximately 280 persons. My reception will have 30 tables with 8 chairs for a total of 240. My catering service is for 250 persons. My questions are:
Is it enough?
should i have more tables and chairs?
should i increase the amount of food services my guest? and if i increase the amount of servings, to how many? 275? 300? |

hello fellow wedding planner; My wedding is Sept. 13th. My caterer gave me a calculation for food based on number of guest multiplied by 2 and then divided by 3 and you should have plenty of food. So based on that calculation you would only need to provide food for 186 people. Not everyone will eat and not everyone will come and caterer's always prepare more than enough.  Hope that helps...it should conserve some cost for you. Oh and not everyone will want to sit either...I think you are fine there. You could even decrease unless you are having a sit down dinner. |
