How to calculate the number of banquets 1 1. How to calculate the number of banquets?
1, formula calculation
Wedding on rest day: estimated number = number of relatives and their families+number of other guests such as friends × 1.5.
Weekday wedding: estimated number = number of relatives and their families ×0.8+ number of other guests such as friends × 1.2.

It is worth noting that no matter which method is used to calculate the number of banquet guests, the people who want to be invited and their families should be included, otherwise there is likely to be insufficient seats.
Two. Matters needing attention in banquet reservation 1. Prepare a backup plan
No one can predict the details of the wedding day, so prepare a backup plan.
Ask the hotel in advance about the charge for preparing tables, such as whether to charge for preparing tables without opening seats. Can I temporarily add seats? How much is the charge? Can we temporarily add extra tables? How much is the charge? Are there any other private rooms that day?
In case of bad weather, can I return a table without a seat? If so, try to keep the guests seated. If not, it is more comfortable to sit or spread out as planned.
2. Intangible consumption
Clarify the problem of invisible consumption. Newcomers' engagement banquet hotels must make clear the problem of invisible consumption with the merchants. Specifically, it should be clear whether you can bring your own drinks. If you can bring your own drinks, do you need to pay an extra bottle opening fee? Whether the waiter at each table needs to charge the corresponding service fee; Whether there is a large parking lot, the collection of parking fees and whether there is a fitting room and dressing room for the bride.
3. Banquet dishes
Cuisine is one of the direct experiences of guests. When booking a wedding banquet, newcomers must firmly grasp the quantity and quality of dishes and try them if necessary. In addition, it is necessary to discuss with the wedding banquet merchants the follow-up service issues such as changing dishes to ensure the quality and taste of the dishes.
The wedding banquet is the highlight of the wedding. You must plan your itinerary and possible emergencies in advance to avoid "chaos" on the wedding day. After all, there is only one wedding, so don't leave any regrets for yourself!
How to calculate the number of people at the banquet? How to estimate the number of people when booking a banquet?
Newcomers can be calculated according to the number of invitations sent, and the attendance rate of guests generally accounts for 80-85% of the total number of invitations sent. If your total number of wedding leave is 300, then the number of guests present is about 240-255. However, if the guests you invite are calculated in the form of groups, such as the clubs in previous universities, the attendance rate of guests will be higher because of the strength and feelings of the groups, which can be calculated according to the attendance rate of 90%.
