This can depend on the age blend of people coming for the dinner. Half young children under 12, the other half adults. 4-6 oz. of edible meat should be enough. Generally, holiday dinners offer a big spread so you may not need as much of the entree. If the ham is a half and has the bone, deduct about one pound from the weight. Deduct another pound if the end is an uncut shank that you may not want to serve at the dinner. If the group is all adult go for the larger portion amount. So often people feel they need to serve at least 8oz./person and then they have a lot of left over. Hopefully you know your group.
Typically, you should plan for about 2 to 3 ounces of sliced ham per person for a main dish. If ham is part of a larger buffet with multiple options, you can reduce that to about 1 to 2 ounces per person. Adjust based on the appetite of your guests and whether other substantial sides are being served.

I used to work at a deli and the rule of thumb was 1/2 pound per person.
The usual rule of thumb is 1/2lb per person. I Bought a 12 pounder for 10 people here in Korea last month and that was wayyy more than enough. Had plenty of extra for yummy samiches :)
For 9 people, it is recommended to plan for about 1/2 pound of ham per person. Therefore, you would need approximately 4.5 pounds of ham for 9 people.
I have researched this and you should provide about 4 oz of lunch meat and 3 oz of cheese per person. For heartier appetites you buy ham and turkey then you can reduce the meat to 3 oz each per person 3 oz of ham and 3 oz of turkey Hope that helps.

The number of sandwiches you can make with 1 lb of ham depends on how much ham you use per sandwich. Typically, a standard serving is about 2 ounces of ham per sandwich. Therefore, with 1 lb (16 ounces) of ham, you can make approximately 8 sandwiches. Adjust the amount based on personal preference or sandwich size!
The current market price for ham per pound varies depending on the type and quality of the ham, but it typically ranges from 3 to 8 per pound.
For 100 people, you typically need about 1/3 to 1/2 pound of boneless ham per person, totaling approximately 33 to 50 pounds. For boneless turkey breast, aim for about 1/4 to 1/3 pound per person, equating to about 25 to 33 pounds. Adjust quantities based on the presence of other dishes and the appetites of your guests.
