Need advice on paper goods count for party
We are having 35 adults and 11 kids at DS' party.
I bought:
120 Dinner Plates 144 Dessert Plates (these will also be used for appetizers) 120 cups 100 large napkins 100 small napkins
Is that enough? I'm figuring at least 2 of each for everyone b/c some people are so easy to throw them out and get a new one for more food KWIM?
Do I need more?
TIA!

The cups go fast. Especially with kids and if it's not a sit down meal.
I think you have WAY too many dessert plates but not enough cups.
I also don't buy different size napkins anymore. Just get 1 size.

Thanks! I think I'll order one moer set of cups -24 and then maybe more napkins.

I am still using the cups from DS's 1st birthday party. We had 150 cups. We had 40 adults and 10 kids at the party. Almost everyone used the same cup all day..And a lot of people use the same plate for seconds..
