I'm planning on having a cookie table at my wedding (and yes I am from the Pittsburgh area) and I have a question about how many cookies we should plan to have.
A little background info:
We are expecting roughly 200 people at the wedding
We will have cold appetizers (veggies, cheese and crackers)
The cookies will be out and available from the beginning to the end of the reception including during the cocktail/appetizer hour
We are having cupcakes as our wedding cake, so everyone will be given a cupcake (or a box to put their cupcake in)
We are also having a candy buffet as our favors, although the candy buffet will not be available until after dinner.
We plan on having small bags available for guests to put cookies in to take home with them
My main question is how many cookies should we plan to have at the wedding? I've heard the recommended is 3 to 4 per person, but wanted to double check. My FMIL is insisting she is going to make 100 dozen cookies, which translates to 6 cookies per person. That seems like a lot to me especially because my FMIL is not the only one making cookies. We have about 5 different people who have offered to make cookies and I don't want us to be overwhelmed with cookies!
