Hello... We are planning a backyard BBQ for our wedding that was a private ceremony on July 11th. This is my first time ever cooking for this many so I would like some idea of how much to make so I don't run out or have too much. Menu is: fried chicken I'm buying, pulled pork, Swedish meatballs, Cole slaw, potato salad, spaghetti salad, tuna, baked beans, a relish tray, veggie tray, and watermelon. We will be providing ice tea, punch, lemonade, and water bottles. Problem is I have no clue of how much to make of each. Can you help please. Thank you!!! |

What a sensible way to have your party! You do need help- maybe 2 more in the kitchen and 3-4 out front to set up, serve, and clean up, or you will be too busy and too tired to enjoy your own party.
fried chicken I'm buying, 1 piece per person
Cole slaw, 4 gallons, see my article to make ahead
a relish tray, do 2 of the classic relish trays on the veggie tray page
baked beans, 12 pounds dry (2 roasters)or 5-6 #10 cans
ice tea, about 9 gallons, 1/3 unsweetened If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks. |
