    How many appetizers do I need per person?

    Hosting a party? Whether for New Year's Eve or Christmas, it can be hard to estimate how many appetizers you'll need for an upcoming event.

    For a dinner party, you'll want to offer about 6 bite-sized appetizers per person. If you're hosting a finger-food only party, up that number to 8-12 per person.

    For more detailed information, check out this article: How Many Appetizers To Serve Per Person

    Tips for a stress-free party

    • Choose a few appetizers from the list below and write out a grocery list. Last minute grocery store trips add unnecessary stress to your day!
    • Offer a variety of appetizers, including gluten-free and vegetarian options, to suit your guests needs.
    • Don't try to make all the appetizers yourself. A mix of homemade and store-bought appetizers take some stress off the host. Pre-made cheese trays and candied nuts make great additions.
    • Many cold and room temperature appetizers can be made ahead and stored until ready to serve.
    • Pull out the slow cooker - warm appetizers can be prepared hours ahead of time, or stored in the slow cooker to keep warm during the party.
