So, how many cupcakes for a wedding? It is generally advised to order one cupcake per guest. The obvious factor is how many people are attending, but there are many not so other obvious ones involved too.
The number of cupcakes you are going to need will vary from person to person. Now having said that, there are general guidelines a bride can go by to get a better sense of how many she needs. The question becomes even more complicated when you throw in multiple cupcake flavors and sizes into the mix.
A good rule of thumb is that one standard cupcake size is going to feed one person. If you are going to keep it as simple as that, then you would just need to order one cupcake per guest. Mini cupcakes are super cute to look at, but they are almost never savored and can be taken down in one bite. This makes eating them quickly easy and often leads to people eating before they start to get full.
If you are working with mini cupcakes at your wedding, consider ordering about three times the amount to make up for the standard sizing and the few extra you would get in case people want more. If you are replacing the cake with cupcakes, then this is a different story, and it becomes much easier. In that case, you can have a little less headache and account for the math to ensure each person has either a slice of cake or one cupcake, plus a few extras. That will ensure that if the majority of your guests opt for a cupcake, you have better chances of covering everyone for what they want.
The most complicated aspect of them all. The arrangements look cute but can send any bride over the edge. Having different sizes and different flavors in addition or even just replacing the wedding cake can be a hassle. Likely the bakery you are ordering from will have a good handle on how to do this. But if you want to make sure they do it right, consider these formulas as listed above. If you get chocolate and vanilla, you can likely split it fifty-fifty. If you get raspberry chocolate and girl scout cookie, consider adding in more plain options as well and ordering extra, maybe even double in almost every category.
