Grad party approximately 80 guests mostly adults. After searching your site this is what I have figured for a party starting at 3 - whenever. Please let me know if I am completely out of my mind. I am known for having a lot of food at my parties so people will be expecting to eat.
Cocktail shrimp - 8 lbs Plus cookie bar
canned pop Thanks for your help and this great website. |

Hi, Lori, First, deep breaths. You are doing fine. I would tweak a little. Even if you have 80 heavy eaters, you do not need more than enough for 100.
Cocktail shrimp - 8 lbs- people are very greedy for shrimp. Either allow 10-12 pounds plus 3 quarts cocktail sauce, or turn it into a shrimp dip or mold of some kind to stretch it. Fried chicken - 100 pcs - legs mostly- fine
Jo-jo potato's- about 30 pounds. If making at home, consider oven wedge alternative instead of fried
Deli Meat tray - 14 lbs ham & turkey sliced-OK
Pasta salad 10 lbs
ambrosia salad 3 gallons- plenty
2 sheet pizzas Plus cookie bar- about 4 smallish bars or cookies per person
canned pop- exact info on beverage planning page for soda amounts and types, and ice Hope this helps. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support the site. Thanks. |
