For local guests, plan for 85% of invitees attending. Don't forget to add spouses and children if they are invited! For out-of-town guests, plan on 55% of them attending. However, if most of them are close family who may go the distance to make it, your estimate could be higher—as high as 85%.
The percentage of guests who RSVP and actually show up to a wedding typically ranges from 75% to 90%. On average, many couples find that about 80% of those who RSVP attend.
If you're the one estimating food amounts, here's a quick guide: Meat or main entree: 6-8 ounce servings per guest. Side dishes: 4-6 ounce servings per person if offering three side dishes. Fruit: 1 cup per person. Salad: 1 cup per person. Bread/rolls: 1 1/2-2 per guest. Dessert: One piece of cake per person.
Simply take the number of people invited and multiply it by . 6 to get a really good idea of how many people will actually show up. And don't let your optimism get the best of you, thinking that your event will be different. I've coordinated close to 100 events, and the 60% rule hits the mark almost exactly every time.
(So for a six-hour wedding with 100 guests, you'll need roughly 600 drinks.) Alex Tornai, party planner for Binny's Beverage Depot, errs on the side of more drinks per person (and we're here for it): “Two drinks in the first hour and one drink per hour for the duration of the evening,” he says.
Immediately after the RSVP date, include the following: “We have reserved ____ seats in your honor” instead of an open line as “____ number of guests attending“. You'll fill in the blank space with a number (the number of guests you are inviting).

Full bar – Beer, wine and liquor: 100 (guests) x 5 (hours) = 500 drinks. 500 x 0.33 = 170 beers or 7 cases of beer or one ½ barrel sized keg. 500 x 0.33 = 150 glasses of wine, /5 glasses per bottle= 37 bottles of wine. 500 x 0.33 = 150 mixed drinks, /39 servings per 1.75 bottle = four 1.75ml bottles liquor.
For wedding events and other special occaisions, we recommend one bottle per guest.
