You will be required by your caterer and your site to give them an accurate headcount of the number of guests that will be attending your reception. Normally, this is due one to two weeks before the wedding. This headcount will affect everything from the number of tables and chairs to the amount of food the caterer will prepare.
Remember that EVERYONE attending your reception must be included in the count. This includes your wedding party, you, the groom, and vendors. You will want to feed your vendors something, so they should be included in your count.
Don’t try to save money, by fudging on the number of people you think will be attending. Believe me your caterer and site will not be fooled at your reception. The real headcount will more than likely show up on a final bill presented by a very upset caterer if you try to fudge. Don’t take the chance that you run out of food or drink at your wedding.
If your headcount turns out to be more than you or your checkbook expected, talk to your caterer. They will work with you to change your menu and stretch your dollars to cover your unexpected guests.
