    If you cupcake person is separate from the caterer, definitely check on the delivery fee - that's something they are not always up front about -and can add at least $50 to your cost, if not more depending on how far they are traveling!

    Find out if you need to have people select a meal ahead of time or if they choose at the table, or however else you are handling that. How many appetizers you get.

    If they are providing wait service, how many waiters per person/table? And ALL the fees involved, including service charge, tip, tax, delivery. Those can add up to a lot more than the base price so keep it in mind early on.

    For the cupcake vendor - ask about how they recommend displaying the cupcakes.  I assumed I would have the standard "cupcake tree" until my baker warned me that they can topple over very easily.  She recommended using a few different tiered stands, and they looked much more elegant than the tree (IMO).
