Five lines of arithmetic
Change any assumption you disagree with; the answer follows.
| Estimate actual eaters | 125 guests × 85% eating rate | 106 eaters |
| Calculate servings (as main dish) | 106 eaters × 3 sliders per person | 318 base servings |
| Apply wedding modifier | × 1 (0% for sliders) | 319 sliders needed |
| Convert to dozen | 319 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen | 26.6 dozen (raw) |
| Add 15% buffer & round up | 26.6 × 1.15 = 30.6, rounded up | 31 dozen |
Every constant behind this figure is published, including the eating rate by guest count and the 15 percent buffer; read the methodology.

Food at a wedding
- The appetizer table sizes a one-hour cocktail hour before dinner.
- Sliders are a late-night hit once dancing starts, so size a second round for whoever is still on the floor.
- If serving tacos, offer 3 protein options minimum for dietary variety.
- Food trucks are popular, and guests tend to go back for seconds, so plan a little extra.
- Passed appetizers tend to disappear faster than stationed ones, so plan accordingly.
For wedding receptions, appetizers during cocktail hour are essential. The table above sizes the appetizers for a cocktail hour. If you are doing late-night snacks such as pizza, sliders, or tacos, size them for the share of guests still on the floor rather than the full list.
