I am hosting a Bbq style grad party for my son. It will begin at 5pm . The guests will be a mixture of adults, kids, and teens (more boys than girls). Please let me know if this seems to be enough food. Thank you!!!

Meats: 44 lbs of smoked Boston Butt for sandwiches
42 lbs of Bbq chicken leg quarters

Sides: 2 gal. potato salad, 2 gal. baked beans, 48 ears of corn on the cob, 50 bags of single serve chips

Bread: 100 buns

Fruit: 12 lbs of frozen fruit to make fruit cups of 4 oz each

Veggie: 7lbs for tray of carrots, celery, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli.

Condiments: Ranch for dipping veggies and Bbq sauce (purchased bulk sizes of each)

Dessert: 60 cupcakes

Drinks: 64 /8 oz bottled waters, 4 gal. sweet tea, 2 gal. unsweetened tea, and 3 gal. lemonade

Please let me know what I need to add or tweak, also it will be warm and they will be playing games such as volleyball, so I wanted to be sure I had plenty of beverages. Thank you!!!

way too much meat for 50 people; do just 25 quarters and cut some apart after cooking, do 25 pounds pork, and you will probably still have some left

Sides: 2 gal. potato salad, 2 gal. baked beans, 48 ears of corn on the cob (break some in half), 50 bags of single serve chips, OK, chips left

Bread: 100 buns, 80 plenty
43 pounds thin sliced onions, 2 quarts pickles

Fruit: 12 lbs of frozen fruit to make fruit cups of 4 oz each, OK

Veggie: 7 lbs for tray of carrots, celery, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli. Plenty, 2 pints Ranch

Condiments: Ranch for dipping veggies and Bbq sauce (purchased bulk sizes of each)

Dessert: 60 cupcakes

Drinks: 64 /8 oz bottled waters, 4 gal. sweet tea, 2 gal. unsweetened tea, and 3 gal. lemonade Fine, may want to get a gallon of light lemonade also.
