Generally, I plan 4 to 5 per person. That of course depends on the time of day, whether or not they are having dinner afterwards, how many different varieties you are offering, and the length of the reception. 5 hours is a pretty long reception.

You also need to consider your audience- an NFL player's reception vs. the Camp Fire Girls.

Hope this helps- Good luck.

Are you passing or buffeting? Are they getting plates or just napkins....
