📐 Practical Planning Tip
How Many Return Gifts Should You Order?
Formula: Expected Guest Count × 1.10 = Safe Buffer Order Quantity
In family celebrations and poojas, unannounced guests, extended relatives, and well-wishers will always visit. If you expect 100 guests, ordering 110 to 115 return gifts ensures you never run short. Extra gifts are always appreciated by neighbors, colleagues, and event helpers after the ceremony.
