I will not know how many people are coming to my daughters graduation until 5 days before the event. My family is helping me cook. Can you give me amounts needed basing it on 50 people and I can multiply from there (over 200 invites went out). The majority are teens, then adults, with only a small number of little children. The menu I'm planning: chicken (fried/mixed of breast, thighs, drums, wings); meat rigatoni; green bean casserole; baked beans; cole slaw; pasta salad; tossed salad; cake; lemonade and bottled water. I also plan to purchase some veggie trays and maybe fruit trays and tortilla chips to set out. The party starts around 1 and goes till 6 p.m. Also; do you think that is too many items? |

OK, per 50 people
chicken (fried/mixed of breast, thighs, drums, wings); 50 pieces
green bean casserole; my better green bean casserole serves 60, see amounts in that recipe
cole slaw; 1 1/2 gallons cake; full sheet serves 50 lemonade; 4 gallons bottled water; 2 per person Since you have salad, consider fruit trays instead of veggie trays. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks. |
