How many cupcakes should I order for a My Gym party?

[Anonymous]

We expect about 20 kids. My son is turning 2. I expect that about 75% of the attendees will have 1 parent and then 25% will have 2 parents.

At my older son's 3rd bday party last year, I ordered cupcakes for all the kids and then a sheet cake for the adults. We literally did not touch the cake. We also had many cupcakes left. I want to say I bought 10 extra cupcakes. I think 2 parents took a cupcake and that is it.

Want to avoid ordering too much again.

Lots of threads on this. My thought is always better too many than not enough. I would always take one unless by quick estimate in my head it did not seem like there were enough for parents. If my DH were there, he'd probably take one even if it were clear there were only enough for the kids.

I have a party coming up with 15 kids and 15 parents. I used the dreaded evite which lets your guests specify how many adults are coming, so I am pretty sure of the head count. I'm taking 40 cupcakes.

If I were you I'd do the two dozen. Might be a stray sibling or two.

48 cupcakes for 30 people?!?!?

OP here. I like cupcakes more than my kids. They don't like frosting. I usually take one if one is offered to me. At some parties, it is obvious that there are none for the parents. I want to be able to offer but not take 20 cupcakes home.

48 for the OP, not me. 20 kids. 15 will bring 1 parent. That's 15 more. 5 will bring 2 parents. That's 10 more. 45 people total.
