Salads

I am making a baby shower for 40 people, men and women. I am making chicken salad, shrimp salad and a tossed salad as my main food. How many pounds of those salads do I need to make. I will have sides with that, potato salad and a noodle casserole. For anyone that doesn't want it over the greens I will have mini rolls for a sandwich.I will have chips and dip and vegetable platter and cheese and crackers out before lunch is served.
