I'm so sorry -- I think I posted my question on the wrong site...
Ellen, Thanks so much for this great site. I am having my wedding and picnic/ bbq reception in my backyard July 19, 2014 for 130 people. Wedding is at 6:30. Dinner starts at 7:30. Here is what I am planning -- Can you let me know if this sounds accurate? Maybe you can fill in some holes I am missing? I am particularly confused about how quantities change when you are serving 2 meats. Perhaps that's not the best idea?
Nibblies I’ve not done this before and we, like most folks I suppose, are trying to stay in a pretty tight budget. Thank you for your input! |

bbq chicken/broasted chicken, Use the chicken table on the plan for 100 page, it depends on what cuts/ pieces you use.
rigatoni and meatballs,
green beans, 36 pounds You need an appetizer table, this is discussed in many wedding reception threads. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks. |

Lisa, 130 people
Nibblies
Dinner
Pit Baked Beans w/meat -- 25 lbs- you need 4 gallons, not 3
Chopped salad ? lbs- see the 7 layer salad on this site and increase to serve 130 Watermelon 6 seedless, you need at least 65 pounds? Assuming you have cake and desserts? Add dinner level coffee with dessert and have a look at the beverage page.
You can write back- |

Hi Ellen! The turkey breast is cooked weight. Should I still increase by 1/4? I'm sorry -- I got lost. You mentioned 10 lbs of sliced and soaked onions and a gallon of pickles. What would that be for? Thanks again! |
