How many meatballs do you make for a reception?

I can't tell you how many meatballs to make for a reception without knowing more information! To figure out how many meatballs you need, I need to know:

* How many people will be at the reception?

* Will meatballs be the only food served, or are there other options?

* How hungry are your guests likely to be? (Is it a cocktail reception with light bites or a full dinner?)

* How big are the meatballs? (A single serving could be 2-3 smaller meatballs or 1 large meatball.)

Once you have this information, you can start to estimate the number of meatballs you need. A good rule of thumb is to plan on 2-3 meatballs per person if they're a main part of the meal, and 1-2 meatballs per person if they're just a snack.

Do you have any more details about your reception that could help me give a better estimate? 😊
