Threw half the snack mix out, all the fruit kebobs were gone and had almost a whole sheet of pizza left!<br /> 17 kids and 20 adults </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527977 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 14:37:30 +0000 regberadaisy 2527977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: thanks for the reference! Yes, we're usually eating leftovers for days after a party. But since this isn't at home I'm trying to minimize leftovers. We might be spending more time at the zoo after too so things will go bad in the car.</p> <p>I'm leaning towards 3 sheets it will see what DH thinks. Although he always completely over estimates! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527886 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 13:33:49 +0000 catomd00 2527886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: we had 10 kids/20 adults and got 7 16incj pizzas. They actually cut them into 16 slices instead of 8 and we went home woth 2.5 pizzas. I planned for 2 slices per adult and 1 per kid. Cutting them into 16ths threw us off since people still didn't eat more than 2 slices! We also had veggies, crackers, fruit, etc. better to have too much than not enough though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527834 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:55:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2527834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going off the counts above, I would think 2 sheets and 1 pie would only be enough for 10 adults and 12 kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527833 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:54:15 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2527833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would assume kids would eat 1 normal slice of a pie or 2 squares. </p> <p>So 2 pies might be ok, Or maybe just the 1 sheet for the kids. But I would consider rounding up. </p> <p>For adults, I would assume 2 slices of a normal pie or maybe 3-4 squares? That is where I came up with 4 pies (rounding up to 5). I guess that would be similar to 3 sheets. </p> <p>So in total I would say 6-8 pies or 4 sheets? I dont think 2 sheets and a pie would be enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527725 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:31:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2527725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: yes, on top of snack mix, fruit salad m, juice/water and cup/cake.<br /> What size of pizza are you referring to?? 😮@ShootingStar: @Kimberlybee: I was leaning towards 2 sheets and a large. Most kids I know can definitely eat more than a slice of pizza...but with cake staring them in the face? Probably not. 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527602 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 09:36:39 +0000 Kimberlybee 2527602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would order 2 slices of pizzas for everyone to make it easier. I wouldn't want too much leftover food either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527592 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 09:25:39 +0000 ShootingStar 2527592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would assume 2 pieces for each adult and 1 piece for each kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527558 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 09:06:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2527558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this is on top of Snack Mix, Fruit, Drinks and Cake? </p> <p>I would think maybe 3 pizzas for the kids and 5 pizzas for adults? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food#post-2527481 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 08:22:38 +0000 regberadaisy 2527481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 17 kids (2-12) and 18 adults confirmed for DD1's 4th birthday party. So 35 total.</p> <p>How much food should we order? One sheet is 24 slices (~5" squares). Large is a 17" / 8 pie slices.</p> <p>We will have a snack mix(Chex, animal crackers, popcorn) and a big fruit salad. Ordering a sandwich platter and/or some other side is also an option.</p> <p>It will be during lunch time at the zoo. So we won't have ton of time to munch or eat. I want there to be enough food but don't want a ton leftover to have to bring home either!</p> <p>Thanks </p>
