Kira 03/29/13	I meant to put (3) 6' subs with condiments on the side!
ellen 03/29/13	Hi, Happy party. Lots of food looks good. I would suggest 6 pounds each of the meatballs and sausages. I also will caution that shrimp is unbelievably popular, and you want either at least 12 pounds, or skip- maybe do a shrimp dip? You could omit one of the other appetizer meats if you increase the shrimp. You might add a 12 pack of sugar free non-cola, or hao about a few gallons of iced tea? Don't forget the ice. Pasta salad, 2-3 pounds dry pasta plus fixings.
Kira 03/30/13	Thank you so much! I will see if that much shrimp will be in my budget!
