160-170 people wedding
Darlene 07/16/13	I am having a wedding in August with approx. 160-170 possible guests. I am serving rigatoni (2 electric roasters full), baked beans (1 roaster), Italian bread and fried chicken that I ordered from Giant Eagle. I ordered 260 pieces which will be a mix of 65 breasts, 65 thighs, 65 wings and 65 drumsticks. Do you think that I will have enough chicken. I am used to making food for an event of this size and usually have more than enough food. I will also have fruit trays, cookies, veggie trays, and cracker and cheese trays. I am mainly concerned with the chicken. What do you think?
Darlene 07/16/13	I forgot that I am also having macaroni salad.
ellen 07/18/13	I am concerned you may be a little short on food. fruit trays, see fruit tray page, at least 1 1/2 deluxe trays for 100 veggie trays, veggie tray page cracker, 10-12 pounds cheese trays, 1 pound per 10 rigatoni (2 electric roasters full), 100-120 served baked beans (1 roaster), 60 served Italian bread need 20 pounds plus about 4 pounds butter fried chicken- you have enough for at most 150. I usually plan on 2 pieces per person I would definitely add salad (see plan for 100) and a veg of some kind 35 pounds cookies, 3-4 per person If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation-maybe a dime per person- to support this site.
