Im having a party and plan on having about 15 people, how do I calculate how much meat (lbs) should I get... or at least is there a way to calculate per person what I need to order?
Thanks

Well if I'm invited you'll need about 20Lbs.
Honestly there isn't really a hard and fast rule, but it really depends on how you intend to serve it.
Are you thinking a full sit down affair or buffet.
How generous do you want to be, etc...
When I made a bone-in prime rib roast, I always take the number of people and put one and a half people per bone. That always yields plenty - because there's people who eat tons, and people who eat a little bit. (I also make delicious sides too... so I could even get away with making a bone or two less, but I like some leftovers).
Half a pound per person. Rule of thumb for catering expensive meats and then add an 8% waste
Two people per bone
Depends if you use bone-in or just the rib with no bone
Standing rib roast with no bone, figure 10 oz per person
At 10oz pp
You would be safe with a 10lb rib no bone, but of course can always go up from there
Usually you will see 8, 10 and 12 oz portions in restaurants
