Frequently Asked Questions About Sandwich

How many sandwiches per person?

Plan for 1 full sandwich per person for lunch, or 2-3 finger sandwiches (cut into quarters). For a tea party or reception, 3-4 mini sandwiches per person works well.

Should I cut sandwiches for a party?

Yes! Cut sandwiches into halves or quarters for easier eating and more variety. Triangles are classic, but rectangles stack better on platters.

How far ahead can I make sandwiches?

Make sandwiches up to 24 hours ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Avoid watery vegetables like tomatoes until serving time.
