ellen 05/16/15	finger sandwiches, since these have thin bread with thin fillings, make at least 1 sandwich (3-4 pieces) per person. I often do 1 1/2 to 2. My tea sandwich page has lots of help. fruit (strawberries.... maybe chocolate dipped) 2 large berries per person. For fruit trays, use the fruit tray page to plan about 4 more bites per person. veggies ( celery, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers) & dip use the veggie tray page, also tells dip Cheeseballs You want about 12-15 pounds crackers 5 pounds per 100 Sausage Balls 1 pound per 8 meatballs, cocktail size Lil Smokies You want a total of about 5 pieces per person. It takes 3 quarts of sauce to do 10 pounds cupcakes, If one flavor, about 160, if 2 flavors, about 85 each beverages: Sweet Tea, 10 gallons, a couple unsweetened Lemonade, 10 gallons Bottled Water, 2 per person If it goes well, please make a small donation to support this site. Thanks, and good luck.
