First I would like to say that I am very impressed by your website! I was searching online for large recipes and came across your site.
We have a wedding coming up and just want to make sure we have plenty of food. We plan to serve pulled pork (butts) with rolls, chicken (mostly drumsticks and wings), hot dogs (for kids... About 15 children) with buns, Dolly Parton beans (pork and beans with ground beef and sausage), meatballs, tortilla pinwheels, veggie tray, cheese dip with chips, potato salad, coleslaw, green beans, yams, pasta salad, fruit salad, either banana pudding or a cobbler (we are having cup cakes instead of wedding cake). I would greatly appreciate your help with the amounts needed. Thanks for having such a wonderful site!

Oh I forgot to mentio that the reception will be about 5:30, so this will be dinner. Most items will be in roasters or large crockpots. Thanks again!

pulled pork (butts) 1 pound per 5-6
with rolls, 5 rolls per pound meat
chicken (mostly drumsticks and wings), 1 piece per person
hot dogs (for kids... About 15 children)
with buns,
could skip, they will eat chicken- or 5 for every 4 kids
