Help for this size party is 2 pig roasters (not part of the wedding party- unless your dad is not coming to the service); 3 food people/cooks; 10 to set up serve and clean up the party. All not party of the wedding party. These items set up in two appetizer areas for the wait after the service while you get photos, etc
Fruit tray - 8 seedless watermelon, you only need about 40 pounds Cheese and cracker tray - 15-20 lbs assorted cheeses and 9 lbs Ritz-style crackers- OK Dinner
Roast pig - approximately 200 lbs (My dad is providing the pig- good, plenty
Mac and cheese - 2 - 12qt pans
Baked beans - 4 1/2 gallons = 18qts- OK, meatless a good choice
Veggie tray (lined w/ lettuce) - 5 lbs baby carrots, 3 lbs celery, 3qts tomato, 8-10 cucumbers, 3 lbs broccoli, 4 lbs cauliflower,
Pickles - 1 gallon- 1 1/2, some dill, some sweet
Punch - 10 gallons- 12 200 cupcakes- OK, maybe consider adding 200 small brownies
Dinner plates - 300 All good, do not forget all the serving utensils. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support the site. Thanks. |
