4 - 5 lbs is a pretty good starting point

If we are assuming that all people are from south LA and know how to eat crawfish, I would do this;
Women - 3 lbs each
Men - 5-10 lbs each
Kids - < 3 lbs each
I usually put everyone in a spreadsheet and estimate how much each person will eat. This is mainly because some guys can put down a ton of crawfish, and some will just only eat about 5 lbs. Most women aren't going to eat more than 3.

5lbs per person for a mixed crowd will usually leave leftovers. Probably closer to 3 lbs would be more accurate. A bunch of dudes can knock out 6-7 per pretty easy. All assuming there is plenty of accompaniments

4-5 then round up to nearest sack at 31-33 lbs per sack

We always did 3 lbs per female and 5 lbs per male.
Like others have said, this is assuming you are going to have all the usual (potatoes, sausage, garlic, etc.)

I can't recall seeing anybody eat 10 lbs at a social crawfish boil. If it's just a few friends, maybe so, but still...I'm handing you some corn and potatoes at some point.

5lbs per including potatoes sausage corn etc all included in the poundage.
All depending I'd they are all from south la or not too. If it's family it's always 5lbs per

3 for girls, 5 for guys

Depends on the crowd. Women will usually account for 3 pounds, skinny guys 4 lbs, giant fat plant operators 5-6 lbs.

Ours are always family affairs, and I have 3 uncles that are the first ones at the table and the last ones to leave. It's pretty damn impressive. I guarantee 10 lbs happen for each of them. If all 3 are going to be present we always joke we need an extra sack.
Posted on 2/23/15 at 3:53 pm to More beer please
Me and my brothers and uncles can smash 10lbs a piece with some light beer, but aunts mom and female cousins may have a handful of crawfish to maybe 2-3lbs so it averages out..... But I know for a fact I can smash 10 looking for something to eat. Social setting or not, it's a crawfish boil, put the trash can close if you don't like my huge pile of heads

I've got a good friend that will bring his own sack to the boils a show of courtesy to the host.
