Dessert Table

Shelly, on October 21, 2020 at 10:56 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 7

For those that had macarons on their dessert table, or thought about having them: How many did you end up ordering for your guest count?

We'll have roughly 170 guests and are have a 2 tier wedding cake. Our baker will also provide 1 sheet and 1 half sheet for easier cutting for our guests since the actual cake is smaller. We're not wanting to do cupcakes because we'll already have wedding cake there, so macaroons seemed like a nice option!

TIA!

    You could do one if it was a favor you hand out but i think if it was meant for people to eat at a dessert table then providing at least 2-3 per person would be nice because macarons are kind of small so some macarons may be itty bitty.

    Yeah we're wanting to do maybe two macaron towers. The bakers we've looked at have some, and I think they would look nice on the table. They'd go on the table with our wedding cake so I like your advice about 2-3 each.

    Thank you!!

    While I personally am not a fan of macarons, I would plan on each person having 2 or 3.

    I love macarons!! They are so colorful and elegant and tasty. We are thinking of having them at wedding #2. I’m in the minority but think 1 per person or even less will be plenty, since you are serving cake. Based on our micro wedding people ate less desserts than we expected. Good luck!

    I love macarons! At the most recent wedding I attended with macarons, each guest was served 2 macarons with along with a slice of wedding cake (it was a black tie wedding and nothing was self-serve). I do remember that everybody at my table ate both of their macarons, and they were quite popular! I'd recommend making sure you have 2-3 per person. It's really hard to say though...if I attended a wedding with a self-serve macaron tower, it would be hard to contain myself and not eat 4, haha.

    I would say 2 per person since you are serving cake as well.
