  2. Main dish.
  3. Two side dishes (one vegetable, one potato/rice/grain, or sometimes two vegetables)
  4. Bread.
  5. Dessert.

For a crowd of 15 to 20 people, two cakes or three pies is sufficient. If you’re serving individual cookies or pastries, plan on each guest eating two or three and order around 40 to 50. At a cocktail party where guests won’t be eating a full meal, they might have a larger appetite for dessert so buy double the number of desserts.
