How to calculate food for a children's party

Surely you have ever gone to a party where a few minutes to start, a plate has been finished and the hosts have not replaced it because they had no provisions left. To avoid that the same thing happens to you at your children's birthday party, we tell you how to calculate the food for a children's party so that it does not miss and what if.

Steps to follow:

one

One of the customs that has been more widespread in recent years when preparing a children's party is to be free buffet . In a buffet what is usually tended is to fill the plate and try everything, so it is easier to finish the food, especially the dish that you know will be the star of the buffet. Anticipate this and buy more supplies to prevent it from becoming empty. In children, they are usually the worms and the trinkets.

two

Mix appetizers that fill with lighter ones and calculate that each guest will eat about 14 pieces . There will be some that eat more and others that less, but that is usually the average.

If you let children pick up snacks before you take out the main course, calculate that they will eat about 7 pieces each . If there is no main course, they will consume approximately 14 pieces each.

4

If you plan that in the children's party there is also room for healthy food, such as fruit. It is better to place two large platters full of fruit, if there are around 25 children. If they are more, you will have to put more fruit.

5

As for the drink, do not miss the refreshments . Children drink them like crazy. Do not skimp on soda cans, although if you buy liter and a half bottles, the amount should be much less than that of soft drink cans, since soft drinks are usually not shared, while several bottles are usually served people.

Dessert is the easiest part to calculate. The children are already full and wanting to go to play, so it is not common for them to repeat the cake. Make sure there will be at least a portion of cake for each one.
