📐 Why This Amount Works

1
Estimate actual eaters
25 guests × 95% eating rate
At small events, about 95% of guests will eat full servings. 24 eaters
2
Calculate servings (as main dish)
24 eaters × 3 sliders per person
As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 72 base servings
3
Apply halloween party modifier
× 1 (0% for sliders)
Halloween Partys have standard sliders consumption. 71 sliders needed
4
Convert to dozen
71 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen
Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 5.9 dozen (raw)
5
Add 15% buffer & round up
5.9 × 1.15 = 6.8, rounded up
Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 7 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.
