Hi Ellen! I am having a casual wedding Buffet reception for 70 guests. 55 adults and 15 kids. The restaurant said each full tray feed about 20 people but more food options will stretch the number of people fed per tray. Can you tell me if the below is a good number per dish? Please suggest which one I should increase or decrease. Or can remove altogether to save money. For instance, do I need to purchase food for kids separately? The variety seems to be kid friendly. Should I do mac and cheese if I have pasta? Please help
Salad (half tray)
Chicken Tenders (half tray.. for kids) |

OK, 70 guests, but some kids, I count this as 2/3 the amount for 100. This is what I would do.
Appetizer level
Dinner level
Pasta Chicken (2 full trays)= 40 servings
Hurricane Shrimps (1 full tray)
Salad (half tray)- not nearly enough. 2 trays. You could do this yourself with prewashed lettuce mixes from the grocery, about 6 pounds, and bottled dressing. See the plan for 100 table for amounts and dressing types. Hush Puppies (half tray)? Skip?
Sautéed Spinach (half tray)- at least full tray
Skip the rest of the stuff, plenty for the kids above If this saves you time, trouble or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks. |
