How do you know how many people will come?

theresa (Guest) Said,

I know not everyone you send an invitation to will come to the wedding but how do you figure how much cake, punch etc.. that you will actually need? The reception will be right after the wedding at the church.

Keisha (Guest) Said,

Well in order to get a count of who is attending the wedding/reception you should ask for rsvp's. So people can send back their RSVP to you by the deadline and you will have an estimate. Therefore you will know who is coming and if they are bringing a guest. Hope this helps.

The sun is shining, birds are chirping and the bride is beaming as she walks down the aisle. In a perfect world, this would be the setting for every wedding; but in reality, that is not always the case.
