    Hmm... I BELIEVE the rule our venue representative gave us was something like three hors d'oeuvres per head, so maybe 210 pieces? I hope that helps.......

    I think L.Turtle is right about 3pieces per head.....but more is always better. Hehehehehe!!! I LOVE veggie trays!

    I agree with the three rule, but think veggies are different. I would guess two pieces of each veggie per person. I think that more is better too. Plus you can always freeze the leftovers and use for recipesSmiley smile

    Right on Amy...veggies are different...guests are going to want more than one broccoli floret, one baby carrot, and a mushroom(sorry jenn!). Go with 210 broc, 140 caulif, 210-280 grape tomatoes, 210 baby carrots, 170 slices/strips cukes, 210 celery stix, 70 mushroom. I'm not saying have all of these, just the numbers. You are having dip, right?

    I'd go with 3-4 pieces of each veggie per person. I know when I eat off of a veggie tray I eat 4-5 broccoli's and then some celery and cuke's. I don't like cauliflower unless cooked.
