Edible Glitter for Weddings: How Much for Toasts and Cake

How much edible glitter does a wedding need? One 10g jar covers 100 glasses on paper — weddings should plan for 2. Plan 2 jars per 100 toast glasses. The label serving is 0.1 grams a glass — 100 servings from a 10 g jar, about 15 cents a pour — but wedding pours double the pinch so it reads in photos, which halves the jar. Champagne is the easiest drink in the room: clear enough to show the shimmer, carbonated enough to keep it moving. The jar count is easy; the pour plan is the real job. In this episode: The jars-per-100-glasses formula — and the doubling rule that changes your order. Why champagne and sparkling cider beat any signature cocktail for glitter: the bubbles stir it for you. A pour plan that survives a real reception — a glitter captain, a sixty-fourth-teaspoon spoon, tray-by-tray dosing. The gold-and-ivory shopping list: the gold and silver duo, plus the 24K gold leaf upgrade for the head table. And what the 5%-to-20% quantity ladder means for planners versus one-wedding buyers. Who should skip it: couples toasting with dark or opaque pours (shimmer nobody can see), venues that don't allow anything added to poured drinks, and 20-guest micro-weddings — 1 jar is genuinely all you need.
