Hors d'oeuvres: How many per guest?

[franeve]

I have to decide on my menu soon and I totally forgot (and didn't budget for) the cocktail hour! Our cocktail hour will be from 5-6 (while the bride/groom take pictures) and dinner will be from 6-7:30. How many passed hors d'oeuvres should I order per guest? I read somewhere we should have 3 types of hors d'oeuvres and estimate 1 piece per guest for every 15 minutes....does this sound right?

Oh this is a tough one for me... I have all of 2 weeks left and never thought of it till you said something. Is your resort asking for this.. and wants to know by piece?? We had a flat rate of $20 per person for this. I just had to check my folder cuz I was a bit lost on this detail. Sorry not much of help but how many people are you expecting?? Is it going to be butlered or self serve
