Lori, this menu is unbalanced, meat heavy, and nothing for any non-meat eating guests. Are they at all open to swapping or adding some mini quiches and maybe stuffed mushrooms or something like that? Get with them and write back. Also, I need to know how long the party is and whether there are any other foods? Dessert? Coffee? Alcohol?. |

Lori, 5 hours, you need to plan least 24 "bites" per person, where a bite is a half deviled egg, 1 mushroom (unless very large), 1 shrimp, etc. A slider, etc might be 2. This is what I might do: Fruit tray- 1/2 deluxe tray for 100 on the fruit tray page
Caesar salad in bread cups topped/shredded parm Shrimp Cocktail- the least costly way to do this is is clear shooters or 6 ounce cups or glasses, Mexican style in the sauce with chopped avocado, green onion, etc; if you do peeled shrimp with dip separate, you need at least 4 ounces shrimp per person, 1/4 cup cocktail sauce. 1 serving per person
Chicken wings Open faced ruben bites on mini rye- 2-3 each, depends on size stuffed mushroom 3-4 per person You ca see by count that this is short for 5 hours. I would add at least a classic relish tray (recipe on site) and 2 other items, for example you could offer 2 platter dips; hummus, about 3-4 pounds with 3 pounds pita chips or crackers or veggies, and a 7 layer dip (recipe on site) with 3 pounds chips. perhaps? People will expect to nibble for at least 3 hours, and quite a few will skip dinner beforehand. Hope this helps. |
