My wedding is in three weeks and I am planning a light dinner for 100 people. We are doing sandwhiches (egg salad, tuna, and possibly ham), macaroni salad, caesar salad and maybe coleslaw. We were also thinking of a veggie platter, pickles and olives, devilled eggs, cheese and crackers and of course the wedding cake. I'm just not sure how much food to prepare - and is this okay for a light wedding supper? |

Just wanted to add that our ceremony is in the hall at 4:30 and the food will be served buffet style around 5:30 pm. We only get the hall about an hour before the ceremony so we need food that is quick to set-up - which is why we went with salads and sandwhiches. |

Jenny, Please look at the sandwich event page, but also, take a look at your party. You've picked two of the least popular and strongest smelling fillings- since this is a wedding feast, you want to have even simple food be tasty and delicious.
Sandwiches
macaroni salad, 6 pounds dry pasta, many recipes for 100 this site
veggie platter, with all the salads, strongly suggest you consider fruit trays instead. See fruit tray page
cheese, 1 pound per 12, some can be logs or spreads Suggest you have lemonade or punch, about 8 gallons, about 10 iced tea (3 unsweetened) and dinner level coffee from the beverage page. Advice about water, ice, plates, napkins, etc, is also on that page. Please consider recruiting or hiring a half dozen or 8 people to set up, serve and clean up the party, who are not in the wedding. That's what it takes to have a relaxing, trouble-free meal for 100. Good luck, Jenny. Get some help. |
