It depends on how much the 6 people eat.
If it is a boneless ham, figure on it feeding 24 to 28 people. If it is a bone-in ham, I guess it might feed 18 to 20, but that depends on how big the bone actually is.
A sixteen pound ham may feed 18-20 people
Approximately a 13 - 15 pound ham would be needed for that many persons. If you cook it with vinegar it will make your ham VERY moist and tender...trust me, I didn't believe it at first either. Merry Christmas!!
For a gathering of 17 people, you generally want to plan for about 1/3 to 1/2 pound of ham per person if it's the main dish. This means you would need approximately 5.5 to 8.5 pounds of ham total. If there are additional side dishes, you can lean towards the lower end of that range. Always consider the appetite of your guests and whether there will be leftovers.

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 :)
To make ham BBQ sandwiches for 100 people, you typically need about 0.25 to 0.5 pounds of ham per sandwich, depending on how hearty you want them. This means you would need approximately 25 to 50 pounds of ham in total. It's best to round up to ensure everyone is satisfied, so planning for around 40 to 50 pounds would be ideal.
If i was you i would look at the serving size on the ham package, and one casserole dish of lasagna can serve about 9-12 people
how much does a thanksgiving ham cost
No. The ham bone does not need to be removed.
