OK. Assuming 125 and that there are not 10 other parties at the same time that they will be dropping in to, so they are hungry.

Boston Butt (cook & pull to make bbq)? many lbs
15 pound boneless pork to start
Chicken Salad (How many lbs of chicken), about 2 gallons, about 8 pounds boneless chicken if you use plenty of celery and parsley
Hot dogs wrapped in bacon 1 per person
Rolls- enough for hotdogs plus 5 bbq/chicken buns per each 4 people
You would cut all this 10% if they will also be eating at other parties
Condiments, use the sandwich page, do for 100

Baked Beans (how much) 4 gallons
Potato Salad (How many lbs) 5 gallons, about 50 pounds potatoes
Consider adding 3 gallons of slaw

Cheese Balls (How many) we planned on 4 large, 12 pounds
crackers 6-8 pounds
Vegetable Tray (How many) consider doing 1 classic relish tray with pickles and a veggie tray for 50 with ranch dip, both recipes per the veggie tray page

Chips 1 pound per 12
Dip 1 pint per pound of chips

Full Sheet Cake- 50-60 servings
2 huge double cookie cakes

2 liters ( how many)-discussed on the beverage planning page- do for 100
Bottled Water (how many)- 2 per person
Sweet Tea Gallon (how much) about 8 gallons, about 1/3 not sweetened

If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation,maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks.
