Graduation Reception
Cari 06/20/13	Hi there. I'm planning the graduation reception for our local elementary school. It's possible that there will be 150-200 people there for probably an hour + after the ceremony. We will be serving: A large cake several other donated desserts and the following: Veggie Trays Fruit trays cheese and crackers and maybe stuffed breads or mini quiche? How many trays/pounds of food should I buy?
ellen 06/20/13	A single full sheet serves only 50-at most 60, so you need at least 3 sheets; you could do 2 layer. Veggie Trays- do 2 classic relish trays and about 6 pounds of carrots, 2-3 pints of Ranch dressing Fruit trays- 1 deluxe fruit tray for 100 and 2 plain 25 trays added cheese- 12-14 pounds assorted, can have some as spreads or logs crackers, 10 pounds and maybe stuffed breads or mini quiche? 300-400 pieces of any good bites would be a nice addition.
