Rules of thumb

How many pieces of finger food per person?

A rule of thumb that works for most corporate drinks receptions and receptions. Use this as a guide, but also consider the time of day, your audience and whether dinner follows.

For a drinks reception that replaces dinner, allow more. For a post-work reception generally a little more than at a lunchtime event. If in doubt, err on the side of too much rather than too little.
