    We have been planning on having a dessert buffet but now we are less than 2 months out from the wedding so we need to try to make a solid plan about the desserts.

    For our dessert buffet we plan on have at least one 6 or 8 inch cake to cut for cake-cutting's sake and we are thinking of having cupcakes and perhaps chocolate truffles, small chocolate mousse cups and/or fig bars.

    With whatever combination of sweets we have, my big question is: do we need to have enough of each item for each and every guest?

    I want to believe that some people won't want one dessert or another (especially when given a variety of sweets) or that some will skip dessert all together. Part of having the buffet was to also cut down our dessert costs but now I can see us creeping up to the cost of a traditional tiered wedding cake to serve 130 people fast...

    I would say that having enough of each dessert to serve 60% of your wedding. Of course, I would think of maybe doing a poll of family / friends of which dessert will be the most "popular" and which one is the "least popular" and then add some from the most, and take some from the least.
