^ yup, that will be way more.

usually if you have 400 people, you really only need a cake for 200-300. with cupcakes you probably need MORE cupcakes than people, and they are more labor intensive. you could do mini cupcakes, but i don’t know if it would really work out to be cheaper.

no, you’re still ordering for about 75% of your guests if you are serving other dessert too. if you’re serving only cupcakes as dessert, then yes, you’d need at least one per. but keep in mind, most cupcakes for weddings are pretty big and pretty iced and all that so i would highly doubt people would eat more than one. and to control sampling, don’t have more than 3 flavours. the more options you have flavour-wise, the more people will take just to sample and likely waste. for my brother’s wedding, we did mango lime, chocolate chip, and coconut cupcakes.
