How many desserts?

That is more than enough, you have enough to cover each guest (even though some will opt out)!

That’s a lot of dessert and some people may not get anything. But, I would have enough for each person to get 3 items. That’s just personal preference. I think 3 is enough with out over doing it but gives a good variety. And people don’t usually just grab 2 things, in my experience. You want to still have enough when the last people get up there.

This should be enough. Especially because some guests will only have one, or even no, desserts. So you might have some extras left over.

That is generous and then some. Make sure there is enough of each for everyone because you can always send leftovers home. Also, from a guest perspective, it would be pretty awkward if someone were to say “you gotta try the awesome (fill in the blank)” and it’s gone before they can get there because there was only enough ordered for 1/5 of the guests.


Definitely have at least 2 dessert servings per person because very few will only take one or not have any.

I disagree with some on here. If you are doing a variety I don't think you have to do 2 or 3 for each person that would be a ton of left overs when a ton of people will not even touch dessert.. Any smart guest will know with a spread some may run out quicker than others.
