How many appetizers per person?
We advise you to plan between 8 and 12 pieces per person depending on the ingredients. So, if you plan to put together a heavier menu with cheeses and cold meats, you can plan on around 8-9 appetizers per person. If your menu will be rather light, then plan on 12 pieces per person.
