    If you have helped plan a wedding or are already married you may be able to help me?

    We are having 60-65 guests including ourselves for a sit down wedding breakfast and I am unsure as to how many scatter crystals I will need for the tables.
    Im hoping the venue will then put them on the tables for the evening reception if not how many more will I need as we will be expecting a further 35-55 guests

    Thanks in advance ladies

    Hi Maria,

    I bought some crystals from the bay of e. I first bought one pack, found out the measurements of the table and marked it out on the floor and sprinkled them out.
    Thats the only way to judge hun. But then again they are really cheap online. Maybe get 2 bags more than you think you will need. Someone will ALWAYS buy them off you. x

    Also if you are having a table where your guest book and letter box on then you would need crystals for there too. I have to say that I bought 2 bags of 100 crystals and also 12 bags of heart confetti and came home after the wedding with 8 bags of confetti and 1 bag of crystals and I had the cake table, top table and 9 guest tables all scattered with confetti and the guest book and letter box table scattered with crystals. So you don't need much at all in reality. xx
