📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

75 guests × 90% eating rate

At medium events, about 90% of guests will eat full servings. 68 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

68 eaters × 3 sliders per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 204 base servings

Apply graduation party modifier

× 1.1 (+10% for sliders)

Graduation Partys typically consume 10% more sliders than average. 223 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

223 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 18.6 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

18.6 × 1.15 = 21.4, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 22 dozen

💡 Pro Tips for Graduation Party Food

✓ Graduation parties often span 4+ hours - plan for grazing, not a sit-down meal.
✓ Young adults eat more than you think - add 20% to your calculations for ages 18-25.
✓ Set up a separate kids' food station with pizza and sliders to keep parents happy.
✓ Outdoor graduation parties need food that won't spoil - keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
✓ Photo ops happen constantly - finger foods beat anything requiring utensils.

Buying Guide

Graduation parties are grazing events. Finger foods work best - pizza slices, sliders, wings, and appetizers that guests can grab while mingling. If your graduate is 21+, expect their friends to eat AND drink more than the older guests.
