How many Appetizers to serve per Person

When it comes to deciding how many easy New Year’s Eve appetizers to serve per person there are some general rules to follow.

• Appetizers before dinner: If you plan to serve appetizers for an hour or so before dinner 6-9 pieces per person should be plenty.
• 2-4 hour event without dinner: It is important to remember that if you are only serving appetizers at a party you will need an ample amount. 10-12 pieces per person will be enough.
• 4 hour event without dinner: When replacing dinner and having guests for 4 hours be sure that you have 12-15 pieces per person. People will be hungry and grazing throughout the event and you do not want to run out of food.
