I am having a party for DDs first birthday next week. We have about 40 adults coming and 10 kids (mainly little).

We are hiring a spit, cooking meat and baked potatoes, a vegie dish, & salads.

How do you work out how many salads and how big each one is?

How many desserts? nibblies?

Is there a formula or do you just guess? The butcher worked out how much meat to get, and we will prob have leftovers.
