📐 Practical Planning Tip
How Many Housewarming Gifts Should You Order?
Formula: Confirmed Family Head Count × 1.10 = Safe Order Count
For Pudhumanai Puguvizha, return gifts are usually handed out per family or couple rather than per individual guest. Count the number of invited households and add a 10% safety buffer for unexpected visitors, contractors, and temple sets.
