How much sweets did people have left over at the end of sweet carts? I don't...

How much sweets did people have left over at the end of sweet carts? I don't want to overbuy, but also wonder if people will actually eat them?

Hi believe me they will be eaten even if you have an adults only wedding :)

On a different thing I made 150 sweet cones for about 110 guests & they all went
I find if they're bagged up rather than loose they tend to get eaten more x

We ran out and had to pop to Makro for the night time guests! Everyone loved them and there were only 8 kids there, so no way it was just the kids! :D xx

None because my paternal aunt and gran were seen filling bags and bags of them elbowing kids out of the way. Classy eh!

We had loads left so gave them away to friends who had kids at the end of the night probably one of things I wouldn't do again if could do it all again sx

I'm using little bags of aliexpress which were super cheap and have sticky strips to seal them then having baskets and little bags so people can choose without having fuss or mess

We had a small amount left over, however, we handed them to the staff at our venue as they had been so wonderful, they were exceptionally grateful and apparently acted like children in a sweet store.

Not loads but a fair few. I barely had any of them! The person who provides the cart should have a rough idea... X
