This looked like a dinner until the sandwiches. What kind of event, when does it start, how long does it last? Also, please specify the actual sizes of the "small" and "large" trays. Write back. |

Hi, it is a 60th birthday party. very casual. it would be for about 4 hours. Im having trouble calculating how much food to order since the last party i had, i had way too much food. Im also going to have chips, dips, veggie platter as well. that im not concerned with. The trays i mention, are the aluminum catering trays. the small feeds 8-10 people and the large feeds 10-12 people. |

OK. What I would do is:
pasta, 4-5 pounds dry vegetable, 11 pounds ready to cook, not corn, probably some left
chicken francese, 1 pound raw boneless chicken per 4 sandwiches, 1/2 per person, prob some left If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, a nickel or dime per guest, to support this site. Thank you. |
