If you invite 40 people to a baby shower, how many could you expect to show up? I'm trying to order favors.

Answer 1

depending on the day: mon-thur (15-20)
fri&sat (25)
sun(30 maybe)

Answer 2

There's no real answer to that. You could get 1 or you could get 40. Get about 30 favors and then if you end up with more than that you can tell a couple close friends who are there that their favors will be a little late because you ran out and they should understand.

Answer 3

I would say to have 40 on-hand, just in case. Because some people end up taking two favors home. Plus, there is a higher ratio of turnout with baby showers. I would say 30 to 35 of them will attend.

Answer 4

Anywhere between 0 and 40. I would put an early RSVP on the invite- this way you have an idea on what to order. Also, buy a couple of extras for those who show up unexpectedly or who "forgot" to RSVP.

Answer 5

usually you order a little more then what you invited. Plus, you always think more people are going to show up... Order enough for like 50 people. that way if people want 2nds they can. It is better to enough than not enough... If you have extras at the end send some home with the guests...

Answer 6

Depends on the "track record" of those invited. I would say about 10% don't show. But it depends on the time of year, day and time of day. If it's a Friday night or late Sunday expect more "no's" than on a Saturday afternoon. And if it's a holiday weekend, expect even more "no's" than a regular weekend.

Answer 7

25-30

Answer 8

If you invite 40 then you should expect 40.

Answer 9

i would say about 20-25 people will show. Although you will probably still get presents from the others that dont show.

Answer 10

order for each person you invited or one or two for each game you plan to have, they may indeed all show up, or send a gift that needs to be recognized.
