    I think I might do 1.5 per guest. Because you'll have some that will grab two, some that won't eat any and so on

    I imagine that not all guests are going to have a cupcake; however, just to be safe, I would probably consider 1 per person to be a safe estimate, just in case.

    I really have no clue though...

    Most people are civilized enough to grab one, and go sit back down. however, if you have drunk guests....idn. are you baking them or having a bakery do it? i would ask the baker.

    Lol, my cake maker (don't know the right work for her... Baker?) said 1 cupcake per guest. Not everyone will eat cake.

    We're baking 2 per person just to be on the safe side. If they don't all get eaten, there are bound to be guests who'll take one home with them.

    We are doing 1.5 per guest but we aren't having a catered dessert. Just cupcakes and cookie bar. I'm expecting there to be some extras, but we are having a gift opening the next day, so we will eat them then.

    I would do 1.5 per guest, you gotta think about you too! And if you have kids they may want seconds, then some adults won't eat any.

    About 1.5 per guest & we also have a 6" topper cake that FH &I will probably have just for us so our guests can have the cupcakes. We're ordering 4 dozen

    I think the 1.5 per guest is reasonable. We are doing 1 per guest (maybe less) but we are having other desserts.

    One per person, but I would order extras just in case a guest decides to help themselves to seconds. On average, I would say order 10% more than what you need.

    Are you having any other desserts? If that's the only dessert I would do 1.5 per guest. If you're going to have multiple desserts then 1 per should work.
