SC - Estimating Crowds

[RButler96 at aol.com]

    I wanted to gather some information here.

    For those of you who have previously done feasts, how many do you 
typically prepare for?  Specifically, I refer to being given a budget, for a 
certain number of people.  Do you stay at that number (100 for a starting 
point), or do you prepare for 110 just in case?

    I would like to know how others handle this.  I was dealing with a 
situation last weekend where feast was supposed to be for 75 (local event), 
and at a last minute request was for 85.  If this common?
