For the sides we are having cold pasta salad, cheesy corn pasta, nacho's and cheese & veggie trays. can you help figure out how much of each i will need?

Use different shape pastas for the two dishes, or switch one to potatoes. Hot, 8 pounds pasta or 35 pounds potatoes per 100. Cold dish, 6 pounds pasta or 35 pounds potatoes.

Add fruit trays, and put the sausages, fruit trays, and part of the cheese out in 2 appetizer areas.

For the nachos, use the taco bar for 100 toppings and supply 15 pounds of chips instead of taco shells.

Veggies, use the veggie tray page. Consider doing 2 classic relish trays and plain veggies for 80-100.
