Halloween Party Food Tips

How much to make for your Halloween party:

  • Appetizer only Party: Plan to serve 3-5 appetizers per person. If you only have 5-10 people coming, plan to serve 1-2 different appetizer dishes.
  • Sides. We always plan to have two sides, for any number of guests less than 10. For every 5-8 more guests, add another type of side dish.
  • Drinks: A serving is typically 6-8 oz. Plan for guests to have 2 servings in the first hour, and only 1 serving for every hour after. 
  • Desserts: If serving only one type of dessert, most people will have 1-2 servings. When you provide several dessert options, the serving sizes tend to be a little smaller. In this case, plan for guests to have 2-3 total servings.
