    buy approx 200 of everything then you have spares incase of breakages to start and plenty to turnaround while crock is being cleaned - dont forget the dishwasher!

    5 dz of each except the dessert plates. I would only get 2 dz of those as many people don’t eat dessert.

    The rule of thumb I heard was 4 times the amount of seats… one to serve, one to wash, one to be plating for the next guy, and a spare for whatever is dropped.. :)

    ya i’d go with 200 because that is 4 times the amount of seats and you have 20 extra
