sweet 16 party

10/16/10 		I'm planning a sweet 16 party for 45 teens and 20 adults and have no idea how much food and drink to buy/make. She wants walking tacos, pizza, buffalo chicken dip, spinach dip, veggie tray, chips and fruit tray.

10/16/10 		The teens eat more than adults, so I would count this as 75, or 3/4 of 100.

I am assuming this is 3-4 hours of party, over lunch or dinner time,

For beverages, go to the beverage planning page.

For the mixed entrees, this is what I would do:

walking tacos, use the escape from the trash bag walking taco salad recipe for amounts, get 2 times the amounts; just be sure you have 5 pounds of chips.
pizza, enough for 50, see table

buffalo chicken dip, 1/3 cup per person
spinach dip, 1/4 cup per person
chips- 6 pounds potato or 8 pounds corn for the dips

veggie tray, fruit tray- see the veggie tray page and the fruit tray page
