Standard per-guest weights
Starters: 100 grams. Mains total: 300 to 350 grams. Rice: 150 grams. Breads: 2 pieces. Dessert: 80 to 120 grams. Chaat: 100 grams. Adjust down 10 to 15 percent when there are 3+ live counters.
RSVP discipline
Confirmed RSVPs 7 days before the event are the single biggest factor in reducing waste. Every 10 percent over-estimate leads to real financial and food waste.
