small deli sandwiches of turkey & ham, plan 2 turkey and 1 ham per person if they are slider size, have mayo and mustard available veggies trays, about 1 pound per 10, 1 pint dip per pound Cheese trays, 12 pounds cheeses, some can be logs or spreads pickle assortment tray, use the classic relish tray on the veggie tray page, do 2. cracker tray, 10 pounds, some can be cocktail bread slices
punch 12 gallons Please consider adding an appetizer plan and here is why: A self-catered buffet is a real challenge to the organizers, and things don't always come together as smoothly as hoped. By planning and setting up an appetizer area or "nibble table" which is ready when the guests begin to arrive, the cooks and servers have time to complete the arrangement of the buffet. This is especially critical if there are children among the guests, or there is a wait before dinner, as at a wedding reception. This does not have to be complicated. Three items, plus a punch, or two if one is alcoholic, are sufficient. Typically, include a fruit tray, a cheese tray (you could use the one you are already planning) and an attractive dip or spread, possibly with chips; or you can go with a dinner theme such as TexMex with chips, salsas, Texas caviar and guacamole; Italian with bruschetta or antipasto; maybe shrimps or other cold seafood, if budget permits. One appetizer service area serves about 100 guests. If this saves you time trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site- thanks, |
