I do not know how much to get for the wedding so I need some help. This is our first wedding and my son wants it to be special.(so do we) Any help will be helpful. Thank you. Our Menu is: glazed ham potato chip chicken cheesy potatoes green beans with bacon and slivered almonds broccoli/cauliflower salad (home made) pickles and olives Vegetable platter with dip Water, Ice Tea unsweetened and lemonade Coffee any other suggestions would be helpful I know I might be leaving out something but I don't remember. We are also having cake. I figured they invited 150 guests and only 100 or so will attend. |

If they invited 150, you need to count on 130; at least 1 1/4 times the amount for 100.
glazed ham- 1 pound per 5 cheesy potatoes- see the recipe last on the family brunch page. Has help about amounts. green beans with bacon and slivered almonds- see ellen's better green bean casserole, do 2 times the recipe plus a bit (or similar amounts for your own recipe). Put the bacon on the side, so any non- meat eaters can eat them. broccoli/cauliflower salad (home made)- about 25 pounds
pickles and olives- about 5 quarts You need rolls, about 12 pounds, butter 3 pounds
