Sarah, please give me the entire menu including beverages and desserts and tell me if it is self-serve, plated, boxed, etc. Are the sandwiches pre-made or are people making their own? Also will people be around all day and thus need lunch and supper, or is it a come and go situation? All this affects the amounts. Write back. |

Hello, Thank you for your quick reply. The party is from 8pm to midnight - we will serve the food around 10pm. As for beverages - it is a cash bar that people will be able to buy their own drinks. We will serve tea and coffee though. It is a self serve meal with pre-made sandwiches - we will be making egg salad sandwichs, ham, tuna, salmon and chicken salad. We plan to do 25 loaves alltogther - is that enough for apx 250 people? We will also serve - cheese and pickles, veggies and dip, spinach dip with puppernickle bread and chips. How much do I need for each of these? And cake for dessert. |

Because people have eaten dinner, you can use the tea sandwich guideline here: ellenskitchen.com/bigpots/plan/recep2.html? As discussed there, you need 32 pounds of bread if it is thin-sliced; If you are using regular sliced, about 40 pounds for the same amounts of fillings
cheese, 1 pound per 12 They will want sweets... |
