Dessert

I would plan on one of each per guest

I'm sure whoever is making the donuts and cupcakes would be able to give you an accurate number. But I know we are doing donuts and they said 1 - 1.5 per guest so we are getting two per guest plus a handful of extras to be safe.

Yes. Small cake to cut and then donuts for guests.

We were told 1.5 normal size desserts per guest, or 2.5 if they are mini desserts.

When we were calculating servings for cake I told my bakery that we have about 275-300 people. She mentioned that in her experience men don't eat cake or dessert, especially if they have been drinking. Women will sometimes pass because "diets". She said it is safe to go 20% less than your guest count on servings. I would say you are safe with 1 per guest figuring some people will have none and some will have 2. Also you should figure on a 25-30% decline for RSVPs so 420-450 would be more accurate.

View Quoted Comment I feel Iike at every wedding I have been to, the guys are dessert. I would not disagree with the overall number and how that would be less than the number of your actual guests, but I think it is so weird that she specifically mentioned that.

Oh wow 600 guests???
