How many cocktail and cake napkins are needed for a wedding of 100 guests?

Here's a breakdown of how to figure out how many napkins you'll need:

Cocktail Napkins:

* Standard Use: Plan for 2-3 cocktail napkins per guest for drinks, appetizers, and light bites.

* Heavy Appetizers: If you're having a cocktail hour with lots of messy finger foods, you might want to bump this up to 3-4 napkins per guest.

* Example: For 100 guests, you'd need 200-300 cocktail napkins.

Cake Napkins:

* Standard Use: One cake napkin per guest is sufficient for the cake cutting and dessert.

* Example: For 100 guests, you'll need 100 cake napkins.

Additional Tips:

* Buffet: If you're having a buffet, consider having additional napkins on hand, especially if the food is messy or requires utensils.

* Napkin Size: The size of the napkins will also influence your needs. Larger napkins might be used less frequently.

* Environmental Concerns: Think about using reusable linen napkins or biodegradable options to reduce your environmental impact.

Remember: These are just estimates. It's always better to have a few extra napkins on hand than to run out.
