1. If I’m serving a buffet, how many plates should I reserve?
    A good rule of thumb is to order two plates per guest. This number could change if you’re planning on serving more than one main dish.
  3. How many glasses will my cocktail party require?
    A good rule of thumb is to order one glass per person per hour.
  4. How much space will my cocktail party require?
    A minimum of 8 square feet per person will be needed.
  5. How much Space should I allow for a formal sit down dinner?
    A minimum of 12 square feet per person will be needed.
  6. How big should my dance floor be?
    This will depend on how many guests you will have. For instance, a party with 200 guests would require about 4 square feet per person. Considering about half of the guests will be dancing at a time, the equation would be 100 guests x 4 square feet = 400 square feet. Therefore, you’ll need a 20 x 20 foot dance floor.
