Ellen - fantastic website and advice! We are having a grad party for approximately 100 (that includes at at least 35 teens) We are having the party from 6:30pm - 9:30pm on a Saturday night at a restaurant at a health club. We only have use of the microwave and refrigerator. Planned menu to date: Meatballs (estimating 2-3 per person) with 4" rolls (13 dozen) Pulled pork sliders (18 pounds) and extra dinner rolls Chicken Riggies pasta (2, pans - restaurant says will feed 60 people) Mashed Potato bar (20 pounds potatoes - using your recipe )and various toppings Cucumber, mozzarella, and tomato salad (estimating 5-6 pounds) Pasta Salad (8 pounds dry) Fresh fruit trays - 2 trays estimated to feed 65 people Desserts - mini- 1/2 moon cookies - 6 dozen mini-cupcakes - 6 dozen mini-cannoli's - 6 dozen mini- cream puffs - 6 dozen Various candy - salt water taffy, jelly beans, etc. We have a peanut allergy relative so I will have to incorporate a small peanut free cake as well. Is this enough food? I stuck with my sons favorites and I was going to add mac-n-cheese too but wanted to check in with you. Or...what about adding antipasto?
Thank you for your advice, |

Crock pots, lots of crock pots. I would definitely NOT add another starch dish. A relish tray or antipasto tray or antipasto veggies are indeed a much better choice. Recipes for all on this site.
Meatballs (estimating 2-3 per person) about 14 pounds Your desserts are plenty. Consider doing dinner level coffee for the adults with these nice desserts. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks. |
