How Much Cheese Should I Buy For My Party?

Not sure how much cheese to buy for your event? Here are a few loose guidelines: If you're having a small dinner party and cheese is the appetizer, then allow 2 ounces per person. If you're having a bigger party with other food besides cheese, allow 1 ounce per person. If there's no other food besides the cheese, then 4 ounces per person.
