If you're planning a party, you're probably feeling equal parts exhilarated and anxious. One of the biggest fears is "will I have enough food?" The answer is yes, if you follow some basic party planning rules.

If you're throwing a dinner party and the hors d'oeuvres are just meant as a little snack before dinner, plan on 3-4 per person.

For an all-hors d'oeuvres party the numbers change. For a 2 hour party, plan on 20 bites per person. People tend to eat the most during the first 1 1/2 hours of the party but expect it to pick up again if you aren't serving dinner.
