How many people eat cake at a wedding?

In practice, not every guest will eat wedding cake. Some people are full after the meal, some are watching their sugar, and others simply do not like cake. That said, it is hard to predict who will skip it, and you do not want to see empty plates. Many couples find that around 80 to 90 percent of guests take a slice, but this varies from wedding to wedding. If your cake is the only dessert, more people will eat it. If you have a dessert table, a cheese tower, or a late night snack, fewer guests may have room. The safest approach is to order enough cake for every guest, and if you have a few slices left over, you can send them home with guests or enjoy them the next day. Some couples choose to have a smaller display cake and a sheet cake in the kitchen, which makes it easier to feed everyone without a huge tiered cake. Your caterer or baker can help you decide based on your menu and timings.
