The Gatherfun Football Party Supplies Kit is my best overall pick among football-themed party supplies because it balances tableware, decorations, and a clear 24-person capacity. The 300-piece set for 50 guests is the stronger choice for a large crowd, while the 191-piece birthday decorations kit offers the broadest decorating selection. The main choice is between paying for coordinated décor and buying enough practical tableware, cups, and utensils for every guest. Setup time, serving capacity, and whether a kit includes both meal and dessert plates also separate these options. Continue reading for my full breakdown of which bundle fits each party type.
Key Takeaways
- Gatherfun ranks first because its tableware, banner, cups, and tablecloth create a coordinated party without the clutter of a 190-piece decorating bundle.
- The 300-piece tableware set is the only clear match for 50 guests, making it a better large-party purchase than combining two 24-person kits.
- Piece counts can be misleading: balloons, swirls, utensils, and individual plates may all count as separate pieces even though they serve very different jobs.
- The 191-piece decorations set offers the widest visual range, but buyers focused on quick cleanup may get more value from the simpler 96-piece or Winoo Design sets.
- The goal-post balloon kit fills a distinct role as a photo-area centerpiece, yet it needs separate tableware and more assembly than every dining-focused pick.

More Details on Our Top Picks
96 PCS Football Party Supplies Plates and Napkins Tableware Set
I rank the 96 PCS Football Party Supplies Set as the best simple tableware option because its two plate sizes handle both meals and dessert, while two napkins per guest provide a useful buffer. Compared with the Winoo Design 48PCS Set, it offers larger dinner plates and twice as many napkins, making it better suited to pizza, burgers, or other full game-day meals. The colorful field design also gives an undecorated table an immediate football identity. Its 96-piece format is less complete than the Gatherfun kit, however: the listed package contents omit cups, utensils, a banner, and a tablecloth. The paper pieces are also not microwave safe. I would choose this for hosts who already own drinkware and decorations, but skip it when one-box setup is the priority.
Pros:- Dinner and dessert plate sizes support a full meal
- Two napkins per guest provide extras for messy party food
- Serves 24 without requiring multiple packs
- Colorful football-field graphics establish the theme at the table
Cons:- Listed package contents do not include cups or utensils
- No banner, tablecloth, or room decorations are supplied
- Paper tableware is not microwave safe
Best for: Hosts serving a meal and dessert to 24 guests who already have cups, utensils, and room decorations
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a complete one-box party kit or microwave-safe plates
- Guest Capacity:24 guests
- Total Pieces:96
- Dinner Plates:24
- Dessert Plates:24
- Napkins:48
- Material:High-quality, non-toxic paper
- Design:Green football field with colorful printing
- Microwave Safe:No
Our verdict“This is my pick for a straightforward 24-person meal setup when drinkware and decorations are already covered.”
300 Pcs Football Party Tableware Set for 50 Guests
The 300 Pcs Football Party Tableware Set earns the large-crowd slot because it serves 50 people, more than double the capacity of every 24-guest set in this batch. Unlike the 96 PCS Football Party Supplies Set, it includes forks, cups, and straws alongside two plate sizes, reducing the number of separate packs needed for a busy tailgate or team banquet. I also like the split between green and brown cups and forks because it reinforces the field-and-football palette. That scale comes with a narrower decorative scope: there is no banner or tablecloth, and the two-color scheme offers little flexibility for matching team colors. With only 25 cups in each color, mixed distribution is required. I rank it below the most complete kits for presentation, but its 50-person capacity makes it the practical choice for attendance-heavy events.
Pros:- Serves 50 guests from one coordinated package
- Includes forks and straws as well as plates, cups, and napkins
- Two plate sizes support meals and smaller servings
- Food-safe materials are designed for party use
Cons:- No banner, tablecloth, or serving pieces are included
- Green and brown are the only supplied color choices
- The large quantity may create substantial leftover waste at smaller gatherings
Best for: Team banquets, school events, and large game-day parties serving up to 50 people
Not ideal for: Hosts who need room decorations, serving accessories, or colors matched to a particular team
- Guest Capacity:50 guests
- Total Pieces:300
- 9-Inch Plates:50
- 7-Inch Plates:50
- Cups:50 total: 25 green and 25 brown
- Cup Capacity:9 oz
- Napkins:50, each 5.9 inches
- Forks:50 total: 25 green and 25 brown
- Straws:50
Our verdict“I recommend this set for hosts who value 50-person capacity more than decorative variety.”
Gatherfun Football Party Supplies Kit Serve 24
I place the Gatherfun Football Party Supplies Kit in the coordinated-decorating role because its numbered-yard banner and touchdown tablecloth carry the football theme beyond the place settings. Compared with the 300 Pcs Football Party Tableware Set, it serves fewer people and omits forks and straws, yet it creates a more finished room with less separate shopping. The 9-inch and 7-inch plates cover dinner and dessert, while the 9-ounce cups keep the table visually consistent. Its 54-by-108-inch tablecloth is especially useful for turning a plain rectangular table into the party focal point. The compromise is single-use waste, and the fixed green pattern may clash with strongly branded team décor. I would also budget for utensils. This is a balanced 24-person kit, but the more complete B0FXH28GHN set remains better for hosts who want cutlery included.
Pros:- Banner and full-size tablecloth create a coordinated party area
- Dinner and dessert plates cover multiple food courses
- Includes one cup, plate setting, and napkin allocation for 24 guests
- Disposable format shortens post-party cleanup
Cons:- Utensils are not included
- Fixed green graphics may not match every team’s colors
- The disposable components generate more waste than reusable supplies
Best for: Hosts decorating a 24-person birthday or game-day table who want coordinated tableware, a banner, and a table cover
Not ideal for: Buyers who need included utensils, team-specific colors, or reusable partyware
- Guest Capacity:24 guests
- Dinner Plates:24, each 9 inches
- Dessert Plates:24, each 7 inches
- Cups:24
- Cup Capacity:9 oz
- Napkins:24
- Folded Napkin Size:6.5 x 6.5 inches
- Tablecloth Size:54 x 108 inches
- Banner Design:Paper banner with yard numbers and football pattern
Our verdict“This is my choice for hosts who want a decorated 24-person table without assembling the visual pieces separately.”
Winoo Design 48PCS Football Plates and Napkins Party Supplies
The Winoo Design 48PCS Set is my snack-and-dessert pick because its 6.5-inch plates suit cake, chips, and finger food without leaving oversized dinner plates scattered around the room. Its heavy-duty paper also gives it a sturdier positioning than sets described only as standard paper. Compared with the 96 PCS Football Party Supplies Set, though, Winoo supplies half as many pieces, no larger dinner plates, and only one napkin per person. That makes it poorly matched to saucy wings or a full buffet. It also lacks cups, utensils, and decorative extras, so the low piece count does not equal a complete event package. I include it because some hosts need only a sharp football accent for cake service or halftime snacks. For those focused uses, the compact 48-piece bundle avoids surplus; for a meal, one of the broader kits is the smarter buy.
Pros:- Compact quantity reduces surplus at snack-focused events
- Heavy-duty paper is better suited to loaded snack plates
- Serves 24 guests with matching plates and napkins
- Football graphics add a clear theme without buying a large kit
Cons:- The 6.5-inch plates are too small for many full meals
- Only one napkin is supplied per guest
- No cups, utensils, table cover, or banner are included
Best for: Small-format birthday cake service, halftime snacks, or picnics where hosts already own cups and cutlery
Not ideal for: Meal-focused parties requiring dinner-size plates, extra napkins, drinkware, or decorations
- Guest Capacity:24 guests
- Total Pieces:48
- Plates:24
- Napkins:24
- Plate Size:6.5 x 6.5 inches
- Material:Heavy-duty paper
- Design Theme:Football
Our verdict“I would buy this for cake or finger food, but not as the sole tableware set for a full football-party meal.”
Football Party Supplies for 24 Guests
I rank Football Party Supplies for 24 Guests first because it covers both table service and decorating in one 24-person package. Dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, napkins, utensils, a tablecloth, and a banner leave fewer gaps than the Gatherfun Football Party Supplies Kit, which lacks cutlery. The heavy-duty, food-grade paper is also better aligned with burgers and game-day snacks than lightweight decorative plates. This breadth makes the kit easy to plan around, especially when the host wants one coordinated green football setup. The tradeoffs are single-use waste and limited styling freedom: buyers cannot swap in team colors or reuse the pieces at another theme. It also serves only 24, so the 300-piece set is better for large crowds. For a standard-size birthday or watch party, however, this offers the fewest missing essentials in the batch.
Pros:- Combines tableware, utensils, a tablecloth, and a banner
- Two plate sizes handle meals and dessert
- Heavy-duty, food-grade paper supports typical party foods
- Disposable components simplify cleanup for 24 guests
Cons:- Capacity is limited to 24 guests
- Single-use construction produces considerable waste
- Fixed football styling offers little room for team-color customization
Best for: Hosts planning a 24-person football birthday or watch party who want tableware, cutlery, and decorations in one purchase
Not ideal for: Large events, reusable-partyware shoppers, or hosts building a team-specific color scheme
- Guest Capacity:24 guests
- Dinner Plate Size:9 inches
- Dessert Plate Size:7 inches
- Cup Capacity:9 oz
- Napkin Size:6.5 inches
- Spoon Size:7.4 inches
- Included Decorations:Tablecloth and banner
- Included Tableware:Dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, napkins, and utensils
- Material:Food-grade heavy-duty paper
Our verdict“This is my best overall choice for a 24-person party because it leaves fewer table-service and decorating gaps than the competing kits.”
Football Party Supplies Kit – Goal Post Balloon Set
I place the Goal Post Balloon Set in a specialist role because its 61.4-inch height creates a stronger photo opportunity than another stack of matching plates. Unlike the 191-Piece Football Birthday Party Decorations set, this pick concentrates the budget on one visual centerpiece instead of covering tables, walls, and place settings. The air-filled design avoids helium costs and makes indoor setup more practical, while the wide opening can frame guests for birthday or tailgate photos. That narrow focus is also its main limitation: no tableware is included, and the balloon will not float. Outdoor hosts may need tape, weights, or another support against wind. I rank it below the full kits for party coverage, but above them for buyers who already own serving supplies and want a memorable focal point.
Pros:- Oversized goal-post shape creates a clear photo backdrop
- Air inflation avoids the cost and logistics of helium
- Works as a focal decoration for birthdays and tailgates
- Large opening can frame guests in group photos
Cons:- Does not include tableware or smaller coordinating decorations
- Non-floating design needs floor space and positioning
- May require extra anchoring or reinforcement outdoors
Best for: Hosts who already have tableware and want a large football photo station or room centerpiece
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a single box with plates, cups, napkins, and coordinated table decorations
- Width:41.3 inches
- Height:61.4 inches
- Decoration Type:Goal post balloon
- Fill Type:Air
- Helium Required:No
- Float Style:Non-floating
- Theme:Football
Our verdict“Choose this set when one oversized photo feature matters more than broad table and room coverage.”
140PCS Football Party Supplies Tableware Set for 24 Guests
The 140PCS Football Party Supplies Set earns my balanced-kit slot by combining table service with enough decorative pieces to establish a game-day theme. Its 72 plates provide more plate inventory than the Football Birthday Party Decorations Set serving 24, while the 24 cups and napkins keep capacity aligned with a medium gathering. A banner, balloons, tablecloth, and cake toppers also reduce the need for separate decoration orders. Compared with the 191-piece set, however, this package offers less decorative variety; there are no listed swirls or honeycomb pieces for filling empty walls and tables. The mix of paper and plastic makes cleanup simple but creates considerable post-party waste, and lightweight pieces can tear if handled roughly. I favor this option for hosts who want dependable table coverage with a few coordinated accents, rather than an elaborate room makeover.
Pros:- Provides 72 plates for flexible meal and dessert service
- Matches cups and napkins to a 24-person guest count
- Includes both tableware and core party decorations
- Food-safe materials suit birthday and tailgate serving
Cons:- Offers fewer decoration types than the 191-piece alternative
- Paper and plastic components create substantial waste
- Lighter pieces may tear or bend during setup
Best for: Hosts serving up to 24 guests who want tableware, cake accents, balloons, and a banner in one coordinated order
Not ideal for: Decor-focused buyers who want layered hanging pieces, honeycomb centerpieces, or a lower-waste reusable setup
- Total Pieces:140
- Guest Capacity:24
- Plates:72
- Napkins:24
- Cups:24
- Balloons:18
- Cake Toppers:24
- Tablecloth Size:54 x 108 inches
- Materials:Card paper and plastic
Our verdict“This is my pick for a 24-person host who values balanced table coverage more than elaborate decorating layers.”
Football Birthday Party Decorations, 191 Pieces
I rank the 191-Piece Football Birthday Party Decorations set highest for visual variety because it moves beyond basic serving pieces with swirls, honeycomb decorations, balloons, a banner, and a cake topper. The 140PCS Football Party Supplies Set is more explicit about serving 24 people, but this package is better suited to hosts who need to dress several zones, such as a food table, cake station, and photo area. Its mix of paper, plastic, latex, and cardstock supports indoor and outdoor use, though outdoor placement still calls for sensible anchoring of lightweight pieces. The drawback is purchasing volume without a stated guest capacity or item-by-item count, which makes meal planning less precise. Many components are also single-use. I would choose it for strong room coverage, but select the 24-guest kits when exact place-setting numbers and simpler setup matter more.
Pros:- Broad 191-piece assortment supports layered party decorating
- Includes hanging, tabletop, balloon, and cake decorations
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor football events
- Combines tableware and room decorations in one themed set
Cons:- No stated guest capacity makes place-setting planning less exact
- Individual quantities for most included categories are not provided
- Large assortment may produce considerable single-use waste
Best for: Birthday hosts decorating several indoor or outdoor party zones who want more than plates and a banner
Not ideal for: Meal-focused planners who need a clearly stated guest capacity and exact counts for every tableware category
- Total Pieces:191
- Tableware Included:Plates, napkins, and cups
- Table Covering:Tablecloth
- Hanging Decorations:Banner and swirls
- Table Decorations:Honeycomb pieces
- Balloon Decorations:Included
- Cake Decoration:Cake topper
- Materials:Paper, plastic, latex, and cardstock
- Placement:Indoor and outdoor use
Our verdict“Pick this assortment when decorating multiple party areas matters more than having precisely documented place-setting counts.”
Football Birthday Party Decorations Set for 24 Guests
The Football Birthday Party Decorations Set for 24 Guests is my choice for full place settings because it lists dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, napkins, knives, and forks in matching quantities. That makes head-count planning easier than with the 191-piece set, whose category totals are not specified. Two tablecloths can cover separate dining and serving tables, while 20 balloons and a banner add enough decoration for a recognizable football backdrop. The two plate sizes also keep cake or snacks separate from the main meal. Its weakness is the hard 24-person ceiling: even one or two extra guests may require spare supplies, and the balloon count does not match the guest count. All that convenience comes with single-use waste. I rank it ahead of simpler kits for meal service, but behind decoration-heavy options for filling a large venue.
Pros:- Supplies matching meal service for 24 guests
- Separate dinner and dessert plates support multiple courses
- Includes both forks and knives rather than tableware alone
- Two tablecloths can cover dining and buffet surfaces
Cons:- Fixed 24-person count leaves little margin for added guests
- Disposable place settings create more waste than reusable supplies
- Decoration range is narrower than the 191-piece set
Best for: Hosts planning a seated meal for exactly 24 guests who want matching utensils and separate dinner and dessert plates
Not ideal for: Larger or lower-waste gatherings that need expandable capacity, reusable pieces, or extensive room decorations
- Guest Capacity:24
- Dinner Plates:24, 9 inches
- Dessert Plates:24, 7 inches
- Cups and Napkins:24 each
- Utensils:24 knives and 24 forks
- Tablecloths:2, each 54 x 108 inches
- Balloons:20
- Banner:1
- Design:Football, Touchdown, and Happy Birthday
Our verdict“Choose this set for a precisely counted 24-person meal where complete place settings take priority over decorative variety.”
Football Birthday Party Decorations Set for Game Day and Tailgate Parties
I give the Football Birthday Party Decorations Set the 25-guest slot because its plates, cups, and napkins provide one extra setting beyond the common 24-person kits. Compared with the Football Birthday Party Decorations Set for 24 Guests, it keeps the same useful pairing of 9-inch dinner and 7-inch dessert plates while adding a small capacity buffer. The two waterproof plastic tablecloths are practical for drink spills and messy buffet foods, and the 9-ounce cups suit standard party beverages. Yet the listed contents do not include balloons, so the room may feel less decorated than with the 140-piece or 191-piece packages. The plates are not microwave safe, which limits hot-food reheating, and disposable construction favors convenience over reuse. I would buy this for straightforward table service, not for a dramatic venue-wide display.
Pros:- Provides 25 settings rather than the more common 24
- Includes separate 9-inch dinner and 7-inch dessert plates
- Two waterproof tablecloths protect serving and dining tables
- Disposable pieces reduce washing after the event
Cons:- Plates cannot be used in a microwave
- No balloons are listed, limiting decoration coverage
- Disposable materials are a poor fit for low-waste events
Best for: Hosts expecting about 25 guests who need spill-resistant table covers and coordinated two-course disposable tableware
Not ideal for: Parties serving microwave-heated food or buyers expecting balloons and layered room decorations in the box
- Dinner Plates:25, 9 inches
- Dessert Plates:25, 7 inches
- Cups:25, 9 ounces
- Napkins:25, 6.5 x 6.5 inches
- Tablecloths:2
- Tablecloth Size:108 x 54 inches
- Tablecloth Material:Waterproof plastic
- Banner:1
- Microwave Safe:No
Our verdict“This set suits a 25-person football party that needs practical table coverage more than a large decoration assortment.”
How We Picked
I ranked these kits by usable guest capacity, tableware completeness, decorating impact, setup effort, and likely value per guest. A high piece count earned less credit when much of that total came from small decorative items, while kits with plates, napkins, cups, and table coverings scored better for practical coverage. I also favored bundles that give buyers a coherent football setting without requiring several extra purchases.
The order reflects how well each option handles a specific party rather than how many items appear in the package. Balanced all-in-one kits lead because they suit the widest range of birthdays, watch parties, and tailgates. Larger tableware packs rank highly for scale, decoration-heavy sets receive credit for visual impact, and the goal-post balloon set earns a specialist role rather than competing directly with meal-service bundles.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Football-themed Party Supplies
I would start with the guest list and serving plan, then decide how much of the room needs decorating. Football-themed party supplies often combine dining pieces and décor under one total, which makes two similarly sized bundles far less alike than they appear. The right kit covers the items guests will actually use while leaving room in the budget for food, seating, and any team-specific accents.
Match the Guest Count to Each Item Type
A label such as “serves 24” does not always mean every item supports 24 full meals. I check the quantities of dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, napkins, and utensils separately because one missing category can force another purchase. Napkins often inflate the apparent serving capacity when manufacturers include two per guest. For a buffet with cake, two plate sizes are more useful than one oversized stack of napkins. I also leave a small margin for dropped plates, second servings, and unexpected guests. A 50-person set makes more sense for a large event than buying two mismatched 24-person bundles with different shades of green.
Separate Tableware From Decorative Piece Counts
The largest number on the package is rarely the best measure of value. A 191-piece bundle may count each balloon, hanging swirl, fork, and cake topper individually, while a 96-piece set may devote nearly every item to food service. I divide the contents into usable tableware, room decorations, and assembly materials before comparing prices. This reveals whether a kit solves the meal setup or mainly changes the room’s appearance. Buyers hosting a dinner should put more weight on sturdy plates and cups, while a short cake party can benefit from more visual pieces. Counting by function also prevents paying extra for decorations that will stay in the package.
Choose Between Fast Setup and a Full Party Scene
Simple coordinated tableware can be unpacked in minutes, but balloon arches, goal posts, swirls, and honeycomb decorations require planning. I would reserve a decoration-heavy bundle for a venue with enough wall space, ceiling clearance, and setup time. Balloon-based centerpieces create a stronger photo backdrop than printed plates, though they may need a pump, tape, string, or extra hands. A banner-and-tablecloth kit offers a useful middle ground when the room needs a theme without a long build. Outdoor tailgates also favor low-profile decorations because wind can move balloons and hanging pieces. The best setup is the one that can be completed before guests arrive without cutting into food preparation.
Check What the Menu Demands
Pizza, burgers, wings, and sauced foods place different demands on disposable tableware than cupcakes and snacks. I would choose larger, firmer plates for a full game-day meal and keep small plates for cake or finger food. Cups matter when drinks are poured from large bottles, but canned beverages may make them unnecessary. Utensils add value for chili, salads, and desserts, while they contribute little to a menu built around handheld food. Napkin quantity deserves extra attention for wings and barbecue, where one per guest is rarely enough. Building the menu first keeps the kit from dictating inconvenient serving choices later.
Know When Paying More Makes Sense
A higher-priced kit earns its place when it replaces several separate orders and produces a coordinated room. I would pay more for complete place settings, a tablecloth that fits the planned table, and décor that creates a useful focal point. Premium decoration bundles make sense for milestone birthdays or parties where photos are a major part of the event. For a casual watch party, guests are more likely to value food capacity and easy cleanup than cake toppers or ceiling swirls. Plain green accessories can also fill gaps without clashing with the football design, making a smaller core kit easier to expand. Spending more is less persuasive when the added piece count comes mainly from tiny accessories that do not change the guest experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many extra place settings should I buy beyond the guest count?
I recommend allowing about 10 to 15 percent extra for second servings, damaged pieces, and late additions. A 24-person kit is comfortable for roughly 20 to 22 guests when it contains only one dinner plate per person. For exactly 24 guests, adding plain green or brown backup plates is safer than relying on a perfect count. Large parties benefit from the 50-guest, 300-piece set because the built-in scale reduces the need to mix designs. Check each item quantity before applying the buffer, since extra napkins cannot replace missing cups or plates.
Is an all-in-one kit cheaper than buying football decorations and tableware separately?
An all-in-one kit usually offers better value when I need both a decorated table and basic room accents. The savings shrink if the bundle includes balloons, swirls, or utensils that do not fit the party plan. Separate purchases can be smarter for buyers who already own reusable cups, cutlery, or a neutral tablecloth. I compare the cost based on needed items per guest, not the advertised total piece count. The Gatherfun kit is attractive on this measure because its contents cover several useful categories without leaning too heavily on small filler pieces.
Which football party supplies work best for an outdoor tailgate?
I favor tableware-focused kits with disposable plates, napkins, cups, and a wipe-clean table covering for outdoor use. Hanging swirls, honeycomb pieces, and loose balloons are harder to manage around wind, vehicles, and limited attachment points. A banner can work when it is tied at several points rather than held by light adhesive. The 300-piece set is a strong fit for a large tailgate, while a 24-person complete tableware kit suits a smaller group. I would save the goal-post balloon display for a sheltered patio or indoor venue.
Do I need both dinner plates and dessert plates?
Two sizes are useful when the party includes a meal followed by cake, because guests do not need to reuse a greasy dinner plate. I would also choose two sizes for a buffet where smaller plates help control snacks and desserts. A single plate size can cover a short gathering built around pizza, cupcakes, or finger food. When comparing sets, plate variety matters more than an oversized napkin count. Buyers serving several courses should favor the 140-piece or fuller all-in-one kits over pared-back plate-and-napkin bundles.
Are decoration-heavy football kits suitable for a quick setup?
Decoration-heavy sets can work for quick parties only when I select a few high-impact pieces rather than assembling every item. A banner, tablecloth, and several balloons create a recognizable theme with less work than arranging swirls, honeycombs, and a full balloon feature. The 191-piece set gives buyers more creative control, but its value depends on having time and space to use the extras. The Winoo Design 48-piece set is faster because it keeps the focus on coordinated place settings. Buyers with less than an hour for setup should favor a smaller kit and add one simple backdrop.
Conclusion
For most buyers, I recommend the Gatherfun Football Party Supplies Kit as the best overall choice because it balances dining essentials, a banner, and a tablecloth for 24 guests. The 96-piece plates and napkins set is my value pick for a casual event where cups and decorations are already covered. Buyers planning a polished birthday scene should choose the 191-piece decorations kit as the premium option, provided they have time to arrange its balloons, swirls, honeycombs, and cake accessories.
For beginners, the 24-guest set with plates, napkins, cups, utensils, tablecloth, and banner removes most of the guesswork from the shopping list. The 300-piece tableware set is my choice for a 50-person crowd, while the goal-post balloon kit makes the most sense for buyers building a dedicated photo area. Winoo Design suits a fast, table-focused setup, and the remaining all-in-one 24-person bundles work best when their exact plate, cup, and decoration counts match the planned menu. I would choose by guest capacity and function before comparing the headline piece totals.
