Bridal Shower

Rachel, on October 19, 2020 at 4:03 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4

My sister is also getting married next year and my mom and I are co-hosting her bridal shower. One of the venues we are considering only allows their caterer so they just sent us their menus. The shower will be at non-meal time and we are guessing it will probably last about two hours. We are inviting approximately fifty people, but we don’t expect all of them to attend because of Covid and distance as her fiancé’s family live about three hours from where her shower will be at. Some of the options we are considering are priced per person like a cheese display with crackers and a nacho bar. Other options like bruschetta, chicken tenders, meatballs, stuffed ravioli, and sliders are priced per twenty-five pieces. We aren’t sure how much of each item we would need. Does anyone have any suggestions on how many pieces we should expect each person to eat?

    I think it would be safe to assume 1.5 pieces per item, per person, but this is something the caterer should be able to help you with. Will they allow you to give a final headcount closer to the event?

    I'm not sure how that works. I would think so because if we were to go with something like the nacho bar they charge per person for that.

    I'd estimate at least 4-6 pieces per person, but that would be blended between the stations and the other bites!

    At a non meal time, I would never expect more than just cake and coffee/punch. What you are planning is very generous. For a non meal time, plan on 5-7 pieces per person between everything.
