Twenty-four plates is the count that works where a kit does not. Kits carry sixteen, which assumes one plate per person and no seconds, and seconds are the whole point of a tailgate spread laid out over four hours. Figure a plate and a half per guest and the arithmetic lands on twenty-four for a group of sixteen.
The listing gives a count and a school but no diameter, which the 9 inch Michigan dinner plates on this shelf do state. Treat this as a standard party plate rather than a dinner plate until the listing says otherwise, and put the bigger ones out if the main course needs real estate.
On the table
- Twenty-four maize and blue paper plates per pack.
- A plate and a half per guest is the realistic tailgate count.
- No diameter printed; the 9 inch Michigan dinner plates state theirs.
- Buy alongside a kit rather than instead of one.
Specifics from the listing
