Party calculators that do the math
How much food for 30 people? How many bottles of wine? What size turkey, and how much ice? Get a real answer in seconds — worked out with the same numbers our full party planner uses.
Why these numbers
Not a rule of thumb pulled from a hat
- Portions and pours checked against published catering guidance, with every judgement call written down.
- Appetite moves with the party: a buffet, a standing cocktail hour and a long afternoon BBQ each eat differently.
- Turkey thaw and roast times straight from the USDA's own charts.
- The same model runs the full planner — so the numbers carry over when you plan the whole party.
