I am going to make four tiered cake with a sheet cake for a wedding.
The tiered cake will be two layers.
Should I make two layer sheet cake too?
Do you always make one layer or two layers for a wedding sheet cake?
Do I need to ask the clients which one do they want?
Thanks.

Well the decision lies with the person who ordered the cake. You need to find out what they want.
If they want sheet cakes, I find it lools nicer when layered. This way The guest never has to know it's a sheet cake instead of the actual wedding cake.
I agree that the customer should have the final say, but when I do sheet cakes, I always do them the same as the main cake (I do 4 layers of cake) for the same reason Cake_Princess stated.
I did however do sheet cake for a wedding the weekend before last where the bride chose 4 layers for main cake and 2 layers for sheet cake because she wanted to save some $$. I really wanted the order for 400 as well...it worked out for both of us.

It ceases to be a sheet cake at that point, (heh heh) and is now a kitchen cake. Let's see, Look at the huge slices from the "real" cake! Wait, what is this puny little chunk on my cake, it's from a sheet cake? What the heck?!"
Kitchen cakes=same size and usually filling as "real" cake, with none of the fancy details.
If I'm a guest at a wedding, I sure don't want a puny single or double layer of cake if the guy next to me got the last honkin' big four layer chunk. I'd take back my gift and give them a smaller one.

Exactly! Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't part of the tradition of bride's cakes, is that it is a thank you to the guests?
And I thought groom's cakes were for the guests to take home. I seem to remember my mother talking about them a long, long time ago. I think the custom around here was for groom's cakes to be fruit cake of some sort.
But I have not ever been to a wedding where I saw a groom's cake. I think they were in fashion in the 1940's, then faded from popularity. I guess they're back, but I still haven't seen one.
