| ellen 06/04/13 | You are definitely headed in the right direction.  Here are some tweaks and suggestions. Appetizers: 
Fruit  240oz OK 
Veggies  240oz OK 
Crackers  240oz- 8-10 pounds plenty Main Course 
Build your own Sandwiches, with various meats, breads  enough for 1 per person, 4oz meat- maybe not enough, people tend to pile on, see the sandwich page Baked Beans  234 oz- you need about 4 ballons Potato Salad  13.5 pounds- I allow 4 gallons per 100- and it weighs about 8 pounds per gallon- people take at least 4 ounces per serving 
Macaroni salad 13.5 pounds- Ambrosia salad - 13.5 pounds- you need 4 gallons Broccoli salad 13.5 pounds- 20 
Potato Chips  130 oz Chip dip  45oz- way short. 1 cup (8 ounces) per 6-8 minimum 
Dessert 
Drinks 30 2 liters of pop- 20 plenty with the other drinks: about 1/2 regular caffeinated, 1/4 sugar-free caffeinated, balance mixed fruit and sugar-free non-caffeinated 24 bottles of wine- OK 3 kegs of beer- 1 full keg (15 gallon) is 200 servings, and beer drinkers only drink about 4. 1 is likely enough, 1 1/2 at the max 150 bottles of water- if outside, go 200 Suggest you add 6 gallons of iced tea, some unsweetened. Suggest you add dinner level coffee, see the beverage planning page. |
