We suggest that you guarantee the number of guests who have RSVP’d; and perhaps add a bit more if you are planning a corporate or non-profit event and are expecting late or walk-up registrants. For weddings and social events, your RSVP count is normally pretty accurate, and your no-shows will wash out your unexpected guests. Please note that in order to preserve your reputation as gracious hosts and our reputation as a stellar caterer, we must insist that you guarantee the number of guests you are expecting, and not any less.
