How much should you prepare?

* If you're planning to have a meal shortly after the appetizers, you'll need four to five appetizers per person.

* If you're just having appetizers, plan on having at least eight to nine appetizers per person depending upon how long your guests will be staying.


Serving Appetizers

* Serve appetizers and dips in bowl made out of hollowed cabbage; bread; green, red, or yellow bell peppers; pineapple or melons.

* Appetizers should be small enough to be eaten in one bite.
