    We're going for 3 tiers! I didn't want anything too small, nor too large.

    I wanted 4 but we decided on 2 with cupcakes for cost reasons. Apparently cakes are expensive lol

    Ours is 4 - that's what the bakery recommended for our guest list of 120-150 people. Plus, we're planning to keep the top tier. Ours was included with our venue.

    Ours will be 2. We planned on a fairly small wedding of 75 guest, but it's looking more like 30 or 40, so I am going to have cake for daaaays!

    Ours depends on how many people are coming. Right now 100 is planned for but it could go either way, more or less

    4 tier. Using the double banding on top from the cake on the left, but the four tier, bow, and color from the cake on the right.
