how many cookies/cupcakes

[hubes]

For a bridal shower with 60 people?

3 types of cookies, one type of cupcake.

[hubes]

oh, and for extra points, the cookies are chocolate chip and oatmeal, what other kind?

[HiC]

sugar

7 dozen? 6 dozen? I don't know.

[vicky]

Are you making them yourself? I would make 72 cupcakes and 3 batches of each type of cookie. 3rd cookie, I would make sugar cookies to match your theme.

[pedanticwench]

Snickerdoodle for your other kind of cookie.

Think 1 cookie and 1 cupcake PP, so 120 altogether. 60 cookies, 60 cupcakes (5 dozen each). But with that, you will probably have too much left over.

So, if you think 1 cookie PP and 1 cupcake for ever other person, then 60 cookies (5 dozen) and 36 cupcakes (3 dozen), which should be plenty, IMO.

Sugar cookies sound good.

[Mrs.Beagle]

I would make 6 doz cupcakes and 2 doz of each cookie.

[hubes]

72 cupcakes? Holy crap!

I think that is waaaaay too many.

Maybe 40-50. I don't think everyone will eat both.

I'd go with about 50 cupcakes (if they're big ones) If you're making mini cupcakes I might make about 75ish.

20 of each flavor cookie. I'd also go with a sugar cookie. If you have the time you could make fun cut-out sugar cookies and decorate them. Snickerdoodles are also AMAZING.

If there are any other desserts being made I would make less of each.

[HiC]

You can't invite 60 people and not have at least 60 cupcakes. Period. The cookies, you can go lighter on. You do not need to make enough cookies so that each guest gets at least one of each flavor cookie.

Right? Stingy bastards.

I'd be hella pissed if I was the schmuck who didn't get one.

[hubes]

Also, what are the odds that everyone will come? I put RSVP regrets only, and I've had one person call to say they will come.

*sigh* this is a bit bigger than the 25 person affair that I was promised when this was flung at me.

[HiC]

When is it?

[hubes]

Friday.

[HiC]

lol

You better start baking!

[hubes]

I am currently. 3rd pan of cupcakes in the oven. Cookies yet to bake.

[HiC]

Phew! Good news!

I'd assume that everyone is coming just so I had enough. When did the invitations go out?

[HiC]

Are you having it at your house?

[gretchenindisguise]

Oh honey rsvp regrets only is no good.

Agree with hic.

Who are you hosting with? Can you outsource this?

[hubes]

The 1st or so? everyone is local, but I was sure there would be some who couldn't make it to a Friday night shower.

Maybe I'll send a message to the mother of the bride. See if she's heard anything.

[HiC]

Hey, let people bring stuff home if you don't want all the leftovers hanging around. Maybe buy some cellophane bags to pack stuff up in.

[hubes]

Got them! I can't eat sweets, so nothing is coming home with me!

[VeryViolet]

Is she opening gifts from 60 people?? I would definitely send my regrets to that but I am kind of a bitch and hate the present opening.

Also, I don't know how many to make I always make way too much of everything. What about peanut butter cookies as the third I love peanut butter cookies!

[vicky]

At this point I'd say focus on getting the cupcakes done (you are definitely going to need at least 60 and the extra 12 leave room for error) and pick up the cookies from the bakery section of costco/sams/bjs. I could have given you a better game plan a week ago. :/
