01/14/14 		This looks a little light in places for 150 people over dinner time, I note some suggestions.

hot crab dip(#5)with - You need at least 1/4 cup per person=2 to 2 1/2 gallons
cracker and bread(#4)-at least 10, you want around an ounce per person
nuts(#6)-OK
mints(#6)-OK
cheese tray (#15 asstd) OK, none left
ice cream punch(6 gallons) 8
wine punch(6 gallons) 8-10 if no other liquor, and add either a few gallons of unsweetened ice tea with sweeteners available for the sugar sensitive- or else use dinner level coffee from the beverage page, for 150.

chicken wing (620)-ok
meatballs (620)- ok
pigs n blanket (300)- ok
mini ham rolls (300)- ok
chicken salad canapés (300)-ok
Consider adding a veg/strach or two such as bruschetta and the spinach/Parm squares on this site. 2 of each per person.

Fruit tray
20# grapes, OK
5 watermelon, per 100 people, I use about 15 pounds of watermelon
5# strawberries, suggest 8
5 pineapple, OK
suggest some limes and small berries for decoration
gallon fruit dip- OK

Veggie tray
#5 broccoli,
#5 carrots,
3 qts cherry tom,
10 cukes
Suggest you add a classic relish tray from the veggie tray page, or augment as described on the veggie tray page- this is quite light
Gallon Ranch dressing/dip

01/14/14 		Get at least 200 forks- some people will want them for the appetizers. Otherwise, supplies look OK.

If you get coffee, do stirrers or spoons.

If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime or quarter per guest, to support this site. Thanks.
