Baby shower food calculator
Count adults and children separately, then adjust for brunch, lunch, or a snack-led afternoon shower.
Use the calculator
Estimate appetizers, meal portions, sides, and desserts for a baby shower from the adult and child headcount.

How the estimate works
The estimate counts a child as 60% of an adult food portion, adds a small dessert buffer, and adjusts appetizer quantities for a full meal or a snack-led event.
Use the result as a planning estimate and change it for your guests, menu, room, and local requirements.
