Getting Married at 7:00 pm. Thinking of doing cheese & crackers, veggies and dips, chips & pretzels around 8:00pm. Serving make yourself sandwiches pork, turkey and smoked meat and all the fixings around 10:30pm. 160 people coming to the wedding. I just need to know how much to make. This is a local wedding and most people live and work within 1/2 hour of where reception is being held.

cheese, 1 pound per 10
crackers, 6 pounds per 100

suggest you do a hot dip in the crock pot as one of the chip dips, such as queso, or spinach artichoke
chips, 1 pound per 12
pretzels, 6 pounds per 100
You need to add to this:
fruit tray, use the fruit tray page
a meaty item, such as 10 pounds meatballs with 3 quarts sauce per 100; or 15 pounds little smokies.

and all the fixings, use the sandwich planning page
sliced cheese needed, 1 ounce per person
