We got married in a Church so it was obvi impossible for us to know how many people would be at our ceremony (and therefore impossible to know the exact # of cones).

Instead of doing cones we filled up two beautiful baskets with petals and I asked 2 of my aunts to circulate around the mass of people gathering outside the church! We had a packed house at the church and there was a wall of petals as we walked out!

We don't have our pro proofs yet and these 2 pics don't do it justice! I am hoping our photog got awesome shots of this moment!

I had about 80 for a wedding guest list of 165 so about half... There were definitely not 80 people at the church so it probably came to about 1pp.

i'm doing ceremony and reception at the same place so i think pretty much the # of people at the ceremony will be the # at the reception.... so still half?
