100 guests is a moderate number of guests for a wedding.

The 60-20-20 rule for weddings is that you should allocate 60% of your budget to the reception, 20% to the ceremony, and 20% to miscellaneous expenses.

The 30-5 rule for weddings is that guests should be no more than 30 minutes late to the ceremony and should RSVP 5 weeks in advance.

The number one rule as a wedding guest is to be respectful and considerate of the couple’s wishes and their special day.

The general rule of thumb for wedding guests is to spend as much as they can comfortably afford.

The most popular meal at a wedding is typically chicken or beef.

To feed 100 people, you will need around 25-30 pounds of meat, 15-20 pounds of vegetables, 10-15 pounds of starches, and 5-10 pounds of salad.

It’s recommended to serve 2-3 side dishes at a wedding.

A good guideline for allocating your wedding budget is to spend 50% on the reception (including food and drink), 10% on flowers, 10% on attire, 10% on photography/videography, 5% on music/entertainment, and 5% on invitations/paper goods.

For 30 guests, you will need approximately 3-4 trays of food.
