Mom of the bride 03/15/15 |
Thanks for your help! My daughter's wedding is April 25th. We are serving appetizers to 400 prior to a dinner reception. I need help with proportions for the appetizers/ drinks only. The dinner reception will be catered. We are planning on serving meatballs, cheese and crackers, chips and salsa, cucumbers and dip and pineapples and grapes, and donuts instead of cake. Coffee, punch, and water. Most of the guests will go on from there to a dinner reception. |

meatballs, 10 pounds per 100, 3 quarts sauce per 10 pounds cheese, 1 pound per 12, some can be spreads or logs and crackers, 6 pounds per 100 chips, 1 pound per 15 and salsa, 1 pint per pound cucumbers, 6-7 pounds per 100 dip, 2 quarts per 100 pineapples, 10 pieces per pound, 800 pieces grapes, 12 bunches per pound, 400 bunches Cake (is this before dinner?) cake- control costs by having a grooms cake or kitchen cakes (sheet cakes in the wedding cake flavor). 1 sheet is 60 servings. Decide how big a wedding cake you want, then order the rest in the other choices. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, a dime or quarter per guest, to support this site. Thank you. |
