📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

200 guests × 80% eating rate

At xlarge events, about 80% of guests will eat full servings. 160 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

160 eaters × 3 sliders per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 480 base servings

Apply halloween party modifier

× 1 (0% for sliders)

Halloween Partys have standard sliders consumption. 480 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

480 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 40 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

40 × 1.15 = 46.0, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 46 dozen

💡 Pro Tips for Halloween Party Food

✓ Themed food is expected - deviled eggs, 'finger' foods, spooky presentation.
✓ Sweet treats matter - have Halloween candy and themed desserts.
✓ Costumes make eating difficult - finger foods only, nothing messy.
✓ Purple, orange, and black food coloring elevates everything.
✓ Dry ice in punch bowls is dramatic but keep it away from kids.

Buying Guide

Halloween parties are all about presentation. Themed appetizers with spooky names, finger foods that won't mess up costumes, and plenty of candy. Budget for presentation supplies like themed plates and decorations.
