Hi there! i'm in the midst of planning our cocktail reception and i'm struggling a bit with the right number of hors d'oeuvres to serve during cocktail hour.
right now, our schedule is:
3:45 - 4:15P ceremony
4:15 - 4:30P transportation to reception
4:30 - 5:45P cocktail hour
5:45 - 6:00P champagne toast and speeches
6:00P dinner
we're offering 5 different options--an oyster, scallops, duck spring roll, lamb lollipop, and a croquette. this will be followed by a six course dinner--an amuse bouche, a soup or salad, another appetizer, an entree, an intermezzo, a dessert--and a macaron bar.
how many hors d'oeuvres do you think we should plan for our guests? we'll be a group of 22-24 adults and 4-7 children. my gut was 125-150 pieces, but my event coordinator is pitching 190.
thanks so much in advance
