We are having about 100 guest at our wedding and I am worried about the food situation. We are on an extremely tight budget. I have planned on pulled pork and BBQ chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, bread. How much meat should I get of each? Is it cheaper if we supply the salad? A lot of children will be there, so I'm getting a fruit tray if we can afford it. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fees this many on a budget? |

You are right to be concerned.
pulled pork green beans, 5 #10 cans or 25 pounds frozen mashed potatoes, a baked rice pilaf is cheaper and easier, see amounts on the plan for 100 page You need to add a dish that non-meat eaters can use as an entree, a good inexpensive choice would be a meatless bean dish, baked beans, pintos, etc. bread, 12 pounds, 3 pounds butter You can make a great fruit tray for much less than the pre-made ones- see the fruit tray page. |
