Q. What time of day is the event?
A. If it is in between meals, light fare is appropriate. If it is at a meal time, feed your guests, don't just tantalize them.
Q. If the budget is not large should you just serve appetizers?
A. Not necessarily. Many hors d'oeuvres are handcrafted and require more labor and more expensive ingredients. Discuss your budget with the chef to try and feed your guests a meal at mealtime, especially if you are serving alcohol.
Q. When is serving "just" hors d'oeuvres appropriate?
A. At cocktail hour, in the afternoon, between meals.
Q. How do you calculate the quantity to serve?
A. As a precursor to a meal, we recommend three, with two per person per item. This way, when, not if, someone loads up on their favorite hors d'oeuvres, others can still get a taste!
If you are having a cocktail party, serving only hors d'oeuvres, we recommend
five to six different hors d'oeuvres with two per person per item.
