1 cold cut feeds 1 person so do the math. If you have 100 guests that have RSVP'ed to the event and they all want cold cuts i would use this simple formula. (cc=G+UG+FA+V) this written out means: (cold cuts = Guests + Unexpexted guests + Fatasses + Vegitarians.) So, simply plug in the amount of guests and u get 100, Next is the number for unexpected guests and since cold cuts are a popular Italian dish this number should be higher than the original 100 that was planned for. Italians are known for having big families that love to eat so be prepared to spend a pretty penny for this outing. Next, factor in the fatasses and depending on your region it varies but just to be safe say 50% so u will already need %50 more cold cuts. Finally, you need to factor in the vegitarians. This is a bit difficult because cold cuts and vegitarians don't mix so ur gonna need soy cuts. Its seems like you are throwing a classy event so i don't think the vegitarian uptights would refuse a carefully prepapred cold cut. Just to be safe I would get about 5 soy cuts (may be a bit to much) but because vegitarians don't each much but they will enjoy the soy cuts alot more than they would like the meat so to avoid the snobbing stuck up looks by the liberal veggie heads i would advise to get the soy cuts to keep the smirks to a minimum. Good luck!!

The answer varies somewhat with what you are serving as side dishes. If you are serving potato salad, pickles, and chips, you would want one quarter pound of cold cuts per person plus cheese. Some people use half the amount of cheese, which should be more than enough. If you are serving just Sandwiches, you may want to increase the amount of cold cuts.

A person can make about 4 sandwiches out of a pound of lunch meat, depending on the amount of meat on the sandwich. To feed a 100 people, you will need around 15 pounds of lunch meat.

You can figure about 1/4 pound per person, so 15 pounds would be needed to feed 60 people.

12 1/2 pounds, since you usually provide 1/4 pound per person.

If you plan for the cold cuts to be used on sandwiches, 2 or 3 ounces per person should be sufficient. That would be around 30 pounds of meat.
