Reception 50 year Renew 200 people. Want baked &fried chicken green beans, roasted potatoes, roll, salad, punch & iced tea. I want to add ham and vegetable medleys for another choice. What you think? How many pounds of vegetables and potatoes for 200. Should I do 100 pcs chicken and about 10 pound ham sliced thin. Thanks Debbi |

Even if most of these folks are the age of the celebrants, if you are planning a dinner level meal, you need more food. I am doing the estimate based on your expanded menu.
baked & fried chicken- 200 pieces, don't know the baked vs fried preference in your area.
green beans, 35 pounds roasted potatoes, 80 pounds roll, 24 pounds, 5-6 pounds butter salad, use the plan for 100 table. But with 2 veg consider doing a fruit tray instead, most people like this better than salad. punch up to 16 gallons, depends on if you will serve during pre-dinner iced tea, 12-16 gallons (less with coffee), at least 1/3 unsweetened If there will be cake, definitely consider doing dinner level coffee, using the guideline for more decaf because of the age.
