You have almost enough- assuming that many of the guests are his age group, and the relish and fruit trays are large. If it is at lunch time, go with 4-5 pieces of sandwich. You might add another 10% on the potato salad, make sure you have over 10 pounds of fruit, and consider adding something interesting such as deviled eggs (2 whole eggs per 3 people), cocktail meatballs (3 pounds, 2-3 quarts sauce), etc. I would add 2 gallons of sweet iced tea and a gallon of unsweetened. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks. |

The meatballs should say 8 pounds, not 3, with 3 quarts of sauce. |
