How Many Pies to Get

Jennifer, on November 11, 2021 at 5:24 PM Posted in Planning 0 5
For our rehearsal dinner/welcome party, we are serving pies as dessert. It won’t be the only dessert available though. I’m also placing a S’mores kit as favors at each place setting and we are having a bonfire. Each pie is 10” in diameter and I’m cutting them into 8 slices. How many slices should I plan per person? If it helps with cost in mind, each pie is around $25 and I’m using 80 as my estimated guests currently. Thanks!

    Such delicious and fun dessert choices!! 🥧

    Since each guest is also getting a s'mores kit, I think you'd be fine to plan for 1 slice of pie per person! (Also assuming not every single person will eat pie!) Maybe go with 12 pies (96 slices) to be extra safe??

    Makes sense! We’ll plan for 1 slice per person with a little extra to be safe. At least pies are easy to keep.

    At least 2 slices per person. Always better to have extra rather than not enough. Never have less food than the number of guests you have no matter what dessert it is. Make sure there are enough of each option to not run out. For example, say someone loves cherry but they hate banana cream. The cherry is first to run out before they get a slice so they have the option of taking the banana they don’t like and it goes to waste or they pass on dessert altogether.

    I think I'll just do 1 slice. 2 slices would be like $600 worth of pies and with another dessert option, I think we'll have too many extras that will just go to waste.
