I am planning an Open House type of reception with small sandwich rolls and deli meat and cheese.

How much cheese and meat should I order per person?

Hello Melissa,

Thanks for asking a great question!

You have chosen an awesome way to serve your guests good food in a very cost effective way.

I can understand your aprehension about ordering enough food for your guests. One of the worst things that can happen at any wedding reception is to run out of food!

Although I know that this company is not in your area, Zarky's is a wonderful company that I have used to serve guests before, so please visit their website at Zarky's and click to see their catering brochure.

They show how they set up their party trays and the sizes required to serve to the amount of people at your event.

From this, I feel that it would give you a great indication as to how much cheese and meat to order for your wedding reception.

Best wishes and take care always,

Diane
