With 2 buns (size?) per person.
2.Veggie and Fruit tray 2 12 inch trays of each
3.Bagged Salad 4 3lb bags and 8 10z salad dressings.
4.Chips=6 bags
5. Pasta, Potato,cole slaw(I was going to have people bring whatever they want in this catergory)=about 4 1/2 lbs so maybe 4-5 people or more bring about a pound.

Slow cooker BBQ pulled pork. You need 38 pounds raw. 2 regular size buns.
You need sandwich fixings- see the sandwich page.
Veggie and Fruit tray- need much more- see the veggie tray page (at least 3 18 inch) and fruit tray page (at least 4 18 inch)
Bagged Salad 4 3lb bags and 8 10z salad dressings-OK
Chips=6-8 pounds. Need 6 quarts dips
Pasta (salad?), 3-4 gallons (6 pounds dry pasta plus fixings)
Potato (salad?), 4 gallons (35 pounds potatoes plus fixings)
cole slaw- 3 gallons
The beverages are covered in detail on the beverage planning page. If you are having all that punch, you do not need that much soda; 200 cans is more than enough.
You need 1 cupcake per person minimum, 2-3 cookies if added.

And for drinkers I am serving cans of beer and alcholic punch. My question is since their will be several drink options how many servings do I need for each type of punch? I read somewhere that 1 bottle of vodka, 3 liters of juice mix is about 30 servings. Thank you

1 bottle of vodka, 3 liters of juice mix is about 30 servings, only if you plan tiny servings of very alcoholic punch, which won't be the best choice if the weather is hot. Add 4 liters of soda (7 up, ginger ale) to this amount to make 30 hot weather servings.
