Many times, as a caterer, I am asked to prepare an Hors d'Ouvre menu. Did you know there is a calculation for figuring out how many of each to make? Well there is. So often I make suggestions of a number of kinds of hors d'ouvres. Then when I present it to the client, the client asks, "Can we get rid of this kind and will that save me off the total cost per person?" The answer is always and has to always be "No." The reason for this is that if I delete one of the kinds of hors d'ouvres I make, I have to compensate by making more of the other kinds, so that there will be enough hors d'ouvres per person. So, indeed, while you cannot save on the number of pieces that are made, you can make your caterer's job easier by having more kinds of hors d'ouvres so that she has to make fewer of each type.
In case you're wondering how to save money on an hors d'ouvre party, there are only two ways:
Invite fewer guests.
Provide fewer or no alcohol options.
