How many appetizers per person at a party?

I’m doing cold appetizers for a wedding reception and I need to know how many appetizers I should fix per person?

Answer #1

I see some sites suggesting 6-8 apps per person per hour. This website (which seems to be on a grocery store’s site) has a few more details that seem reasonable enough:

Evening function with no dinner: 10-15 pieces per person. Make sure it’s substantial. When appetizers are served buffet-style vs. passed on trays, people tend to eat more.

Evening function with dinner following: 3-5 pieces per person. Can be lighter foods such as cheese or veggies.

Late morning or early afternoon with a meal following: 1-3 pieces per person. Again, can be lighter, such as veggies or cheese.

Answer #2

I would say between 3-5 per person ::
