Person will eat about 1/4 pound of each meat and 1/2 cup of each side dish.

This is the website that my friend who caters recommended for helping figure out how to calculate food for a big party (it wasn't a wedding, but she likes this site).

After looking this over and knowing we are "food pushers" (here--take some leftovers home for dinner...eat...eat!) when we did our big party a few years ago, we went 1 1/2 times what they recommended.

I will tell you, if it was just a group of women we may have been able to get away with their suggestion, but it it was a mixed group of women, men and children and we were terrified of not having enough food at a party!

My hubby calls that kind of party a Mary Tyler Moore party after an episode where she didn't have enough food at a party...I don't remember that, but he thinks it is hysterical and never wanted it to happen to us!

We had cute little plastic containers for people to take home leftovers and there were some (mostly the veggie appetizers and bread) but most of the meat and just about all of the desserts were gone!

Good luck!! Enjoy your event!!!

I like to have four ounces of each item per person at my foodie events!

Sounds like you have received several good measurements for amounts of food needed.

  • I would like to add a very informative link for you to check as it has some very good (usually overlooked) tips about serving a large number of people. Be sure to check out the last category.

I recently read something interesting about serving a crowd:
Guests will always eat and drink more at night than during the day.
