1/2 cup of coffee per person
1/2 cup of tea per person |

Count on 4 to 5 per guest before an early meal, 5 to 7 before a late meal, and 8 to 9 if no meal is planned.
Make appetizers small enough to be eaten in one bite.
Serve appetizers and dips in interesting and unusual dishes, or vessels like hollowed cabbage, bread or watermelons.
Place appetizers in multiple locations. This encourages your guests to move around.
Serve cold foods such as vegetables, shrimp and cubed cheese in a ring of ice to maintain freshness. |

3 to 5 pieces of sweets per person will satisfy everyone’s taste.
