Most of your guests will not have eaten dinner, so you will have basically dinner level food.
meatballs, 10 pounds cocktail size, 3 quarts sauce shrimp cocktail, 1 pound per 5. 1 cup cocktail sauce per 6. If you do Mexican style in 3-4 ounce shooter glasses with chopped celery, cucumber, avocado, etc, you can do 1 pound per 7-8. For that, add saltines on the side, 2 per serving
pasta salad, 6 pounds dry pasta plus add-ins Benedictine on corn bread fritters, at least 2 fritters per person, these will be very popular because they are unusual. Consider making ahead and reheating. 1 cup Benedictine per 5. chips, 1 pound per 12, 1 pint dip/salsa per pound
cheese, 1 pound per 10, some could be logs or spreads vegetable display, 1 pound per 10, about 4 bites per person, see veggie tray page. Consider a classic relish tray instead with this menu, same page. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, a dime or quarter per guest, to support this site. Thank you. |

3 gallons definitely enough, 2 prob. But this is very easy to make and can be done a day or two ahead, much less espensive. Good recipes on this site! |
