*****What are you guys getting your grooms????
*****Are you having a seating chart? If so are you making it or how are you doing it??
*****I will have about 200 guest, I have a chocolate foutain and my cake maker said that 130 servings is enough for cake. Do you guys think that will be okay?
I think that is it!!! Happy Planning and thanks in advance!
EDIT-- 2. I am having a buffet and I am having tables assigned for everyone but not seats. What are you making your seating chart out of???
3. The chocolate foutain will have 5 different dippers.

2. No, I hate seating charts.
3. I have no idea. There always seems to be a ton of cake left over but I don't know if that's because people tend to over order or what. Have you gotten all of your RSVPs back yet?
I got him a nice watch he said he wanted
*****Are you having a seating chart? If so are you making it or how are you doing it??
I am assigning tables. not seats. I will write their names and the table name on escort cards and the table names will be in Tolsby frames w/ our e-pics and some of my bridal pics

Are you having cake and the chocolate fountain? I like the PP's about if it is served vs having it out on the buffet for guests to take. I would have enough to serve everyone, I think you will get a better idea how much you need when your RSVP's roll in
First Look
2. We are doing assigned tables with hoping to have around 240-250 guest actually show up I am not assign each person a chair, here's your table, figure it out! Lol
3. I would say that is fine! No one really eats cake, our actual cake feeds about 150 and than I have a back up slab just in case, but we also have a huge sweet table, with chocolate fountains, Italian pastries, etc..
We will have assigned tables but not seats. I'll just have simple escort cards with the names written on & the table number.
I think you'll be fine if you serve the cake buffet style since I agree with PPs that not everyone will take some when you have a chocolate fountain as well.
2. We are doing assigned tables but not seats. We are making escort cards look like plane tickets which will be placed on a world map. Each table has a "postcard" which is a picture of us from certain places we have traveled as an example Macchu Piccu.
3. It sounds like the cake should be enough. However, my mom (who is paying for the cake) wants to make sure we have extra so we are ordering enough to serve everyone. I am also super excited about my cake I love my bakery.

2. NO SEATING CHART we are having a luncheon after the wedding since is a Destination Wedding
3. I think it is fine
2. I'm not doing a seating chart or any sort of assigned tables/seating. I'll mark a few tables as reserved for family and that's it.
3. I think you might need to bump your cake up to 180. Even though you have the chocolate fountain - people will still want to taste your cake. So they'll get a piece and eat half of it.

No- we are having a casual, hor d'ouevres reception, we are hoping people mostly mingle

I would get enough for everyone.
We're paying for the wedding ourselves, so we're not really doing gifts. I am however surprising FI with a groom's cake at the RD.

Assigning tables but not seats. I easily assigned the tables through weddingwire.com (TK woudn't let me have bigger tables). I created two nice posters, will frame them and place them on the guestbook/escort table so that people can see what table they are assigned to and have table numbers on each table.
similar to this: (not real names)

I will have about 200 guest, I have a chocolate foutain and my cake maker said that 130 servings is enough for cake. Do you guys think that will be okay?
I would have more pieces because that is too big of a gap of guests to cake.
2. We're assigning people to tables, but not seats. We're planning on displaying our escort cards on a ribbon board placed on a table next to the guestbook. Sort of like this:

3. Generally bakers tend to know best how fast their cake/desserts will go. However, you know your guests better so go with your instincts. If your guests have a big sweet tooth, or tend to like cake better, increase the cake by 20 slices at least. And be sure to have them available to eat at the same time or one will definitely run out before the other.
Are you having a seating chart? If so are you making it or how are you doing it? I'm not having a seating chart but assigning tables. Once I get the RSVPs back I'll create circles on a piece of paper and give everyone a post-it tab to put around tables until I'm happy with it. I'll then write it down and do the escort cards.
Do you guys think that will be okay? I would get enough cake for everyone who RSVPs. Yes, some do not like cake but I'd rather have enough than not enough.
What are you making your seating chart out of? Not making one. My escort cards will be river rocks that will each have a guest's name on the front and the back will have the table number. I'll have a sign on the table with the rocks explaining it.
We are not doing any type of seating chart. We are fortunate to have a venue where we don't have to have one. I want all the guest to be as comfortable as possible since most of FI friends and family don't know any of mine. I would like everyone to mingle as they please and we are doing a fairly small wedding of about 100.
I always think of that movie "You Again" when I think of seating charts, where they are at the RD and the FSIL invites the brides exs who is still in love with her, and he asked the guy "see this sign, it says Tim, is your name Tim??" LOL love that movie.
I would probably make sure that you at least get enough cake for the number of guests you expect, I would rather have more than not enough.
