Vendor Head Count

Hey Ladies,The other day, there was a post I read (not sure if it was here or on the 8/09 board), but the advice was to fudge your guest count by four. The reasoning is that they always make extra plates if everyone who said they would show up miraculously does...and if not, you aren't stuck paying for them. So, should I fudge both the beef and chicken numbers each by two? What do you guys think?

    I had the urge to do the same, but decided to just give the accurate number at the last minute. I didn't want to risk not having enough food.

    I do fundraising events for work and we always give a lower head count if it's a buffet meal.  Buffets always seem to be over done.  With plated meals, I'm more careful to be as accurate as possible so we have enough food for all of our guests.
