    I'm getting custom napkins made for our wedding to be put out at our dessert stations & at our bar.  We'll have somewhere around 85 - 100 guests, so how many napkins do I have made?  Any advice on how to figure that out?

    I'd suggest about 125-150 or so, that way people can use more than one if they need to do so.

    I was very excited to read the responses to your question, but...um...well?!? Oh well, I will just let you know what I have ordered. I have already ordered my cocktail napkins and I purchased twice the number of guests and I hope I have enough. What were you thinking? *^_^*

    I'll try to answer...I think you will need 1 napkin per guest for the cake and maybe 2 for the bar...I would order around 300...

    I was thinking about 250 or 300 if they're going to be used for drinks & dessert.  I could probably use 5 alone!

    I was hoping for more responses too!

    I suggest at least 2 to 3 per person. I use a lot of napkins.

    We ordered about 2.5 x #guests for the bar, coffee and cake.
