I am researching catering options for my upcoming wedding and for all of the party platters it says based on 30 pax. I was wondering if anyone knows what this means? Thank you in advance!!

    It means people/persons

    I thought Pax meant "peace," in Latin. You learn something every day...

    @Dreamer it absolutely means "peace" in Latin. So when I read this yesterday I thought it was a bizarre shorthand for "pieces." But not knowing for sure, I kept my mouth shut.

    Regardless of how they arrived at that abbreviation/spelling, it seems clear that in this context it's meant to signify "number of people"

    Sorry, I thought this was a dup thread.

    eta: I could have swore I saw different responses from when I saw this last night. Guess it's the alcohol. My bad.
