That's not a question you hear everyday, lol.

My answer would be it depends on how you're slicing it up or cutting it up. Are you making sandwiches or will it be like a cheese platter/tray?

People tend to really love cheese, so if you're cutting it up for crackers or bread, you may need a bit more than 8lbs - especially if you have any vegans in the group.

If you are cutting them 2 X 2 I go with 5 to 8 slices per person any thing bigger I would go with 3 to 5 a person.

Just like Heather ask what are they going on? Crackers? Bread?

Crackers I would do 5 to 8 bread I would do 3 per person at the most.

You meant if you have vegetarians you'd need more right? I don't think vegans eat cheese...
