Cupcakes? How many per person

We are doing cupcakes as a dessert, we will have 6 flavors (chocolate, vanilla, reeces, salted caramel, carrot cake, and brownie). I just looked up how many per person and since we are having more than one flavor, it said 2 per person, that is 500 cupcakes. That seems a lot. Also, I have started...

We are doing cupcakes as a dessert, we will have 6 flavors (chocolate, vanilla, reeces, salted caramel, carrot cake, and brownie). I just looked up how many per person and since we are having more than one flavor, it said 2 per person, that is 500 cupcakes. That seems a lot.

Also, I have started looking into a popcorn bar as a favor. A website said 2 cups per person, 16 cups per gallon. So that comes up to 32 gallons for 250 guests.

I'm not concerned about the popcorn but the cupcakes seem outrageous.

I was also going to add a signature drink, we will have beer and wine, but it was $3 per drink ($300 for 100 drinks) and I am thinking of just sticking to beer and wine. I want the signature drink but I do not want to run out and I don't know how many to order.

Anyone else have advise on how many cupcakes or signature drinks?

    We invited 120 people and had 350 cupcakes. They were mini's but it was still too much. That's just my word of advice. Lol

    Do you all think that 200 cupcakes (five flavors) for 60-65 people is enough?

    Thanks for sharing about this! I wasn't thinking about people having more than 1, so making sure we have at least 1.5 per person sounds good. And they are definitely cheaper than a wedding cake, so we're still saving money. PS the popcorn bar sounds so cute!
