How to politely ask guests not to take too many desserts?

You can't.

And some people might be piggies but most won't.

Try not to worry about it, when the desserts are gone, they're gone.

Besides, three desserts and cake is a lot after a meal. Some people's eyes get bigger than their stomachs but it's part of the party.

It will be fine!

You don't. I think people are respectful enough to not load up their plates with 8 desserts but if they do then they do.

You don't.

Most people will maybe take 1 or 2, especially if they have cake too, this will even out with the few people who do take more.

I have yet to go to a wedding where all the desserts/cake have been eaten. Usually there is plenty left over.

You could make a sign and say something in the line of "Love is sweet and we want everyone to get a taste of it, if you could kindly pick your top 3 favorite choices please!" But i doubt people will eat all the dessert!

I wouldn't worry about putting a limit. Some people won't take any at all. Some people might only take one. I doubt everyone will be loading their plates up with desserts if you are also providing cake.

You don't have to ask them. The purpose of the desserts is for people to eat them. They are adults, if they dont get that snickerdoodle they want they'll get over it. Also 3 desserts and cake is more than enough. Some guests might not take dessert at all b/c they're getting cake so you really shouldn't worry.

You can't, most people know how to be adults.

You hope they're adult enough to understand other people should have a chance to grab some too. Or, you order more.

I don't think you can. I think you just have to have what you have and run out when you run out. Honestly, I have a huge sweet tooth and even I wouldn't take more than 3 items plus cake. That's quite a bit. Some will take more, some will take less. Hopefully it evens out but even if you run out I don't think you can put a limit on what people can take.

You can't really ask them to do that. Keep in mind, not everyone will want extra dessert (besides cake). Some will maybe take more. It will probably even itself out.

You don't. Not everyone will want to try a bit of everything. Let them pick what they want, you offer what you want so long as there is enough dessert so each person can have at least one of their own items (a slice of cake at minimum).

If some options run out, then they run out.

No need to tell them. Most people will see what is offered and should gauge how much is reasonable to take. I would not assume that the dessert table would be refilled.

I have a huge sweet tooth and I only take a bit and will only go back for seconds/thirds once I know everyone has had their chance at it. If there were no seconds then so be it.

They are adults not children. It would be condescending and rude for you to tell them limit 3. Trust that they will act like adults and not go crazy after a meal and cake.

I don't think you have anything to worry about, 3 each plus cake is plenty.

You shouldn't say anything - it will just be off-putting to your guests. I never even eat cake at weddings let alone other desserts. A piece of cake and three desserts is PLENTY. There will be people who abuse it, there will be people who don't take anything, and there will be reasonable people who take what they should.

I wouldn't worry. Usually I only eat cake at weddings and no other desserts. I'm always too busy drinking and dancing. I think 3 pp is plenty

I wouldn't worry to much. When they are gone they are gone. You have more important things to stress over. Haha

I'm sure it's going to be fine, because some might take more, but others will take less.

You can't politely tell adults what to do. That's why you're struggling to figure out how.

Nope.

I can't imagine too many people having cake and taking all 8. I think most people will just take 2-3.

If you are having cake along with the dessert table there is a high chance people won't even touch the dessert table. I love dessert but when there is so much going on I might not even bother. I wouldn't worry about it. Besides if everyone gets one slice of cake I think anything extra is just that and not super necessary.
