not everyone will rsvp? Should we count every person we invited or assume not all will make it? How did you do it for your wedding?

Assume everyone will make it that did RSVP. It's better to have extra than not enough.

what do you mean not everyone will rsvp? Are you ordering the favours before the rsvp date? If so then look at who you know will be attending and your maybes and estimate it from there. It is better to have too many than not enough.If you're ordering them after your rsvp date I would be calling all of the people who hadn't rsvped to see if they are coming or not.

I am planning on counting the RSVP's and then adding about 30 to that. Then I should be on the safe side!

If someone doesn't rsvp, you need to call them to get an exact headcount for the caterer. That isn't an excuse.Favors are given out 1 per person if they are edible and 1 per couple if they are not.

I am going to get about 25 extra of just about everything.Mostly because when you order things and you don't get enough and have to go back later it will cost you twice as much to get less. It's always cheaper to go in bulk. The good wedding sites will even tell you that. You can get more of a deal that way. Usually they will have factors such as:Order 25, 50, 75, 100 or more. If I am expecting 75 then I will order 100 for example! Good luck planning the wedding of your dreams!

Don't assume. GET people to rsvp. You NEED to know who is coming, you can't just guess. Don't do any favours until you know your exact numbers.
