Hi Ellen, I love this site! I am cooking for my son's graduation party. We will have 35 adults (40yrs old and +) and 10 young adults ranging from 18-22yrs old. He would like to have chips, salsa, hummus, and vegetables to start. Then I was going to do bratwurst and hot dogs in a slowcooker, pulled pork , penne vodka, lasagna, and chicken picatta. Followed be a 1/2 sheet cake etc. how much of each entree should I make? Thank you for your advice. |

With the teens, I would just estimate this at 50.
chips, salsa, 4 pounds chips, 4 pints dips and salsa
bratwurst and hot dogs in a slowcooker, penne vodka, you will use less because of the lasagna. 3 9x13 pans Urge you to add a salad, see the plan for 100 salad section and use a scant 1/2 the amount for 100; and consider 6 pounds of good bread or rolls and a pound or 2 of butter, and possibly either roasted veg, 10 pounds, or a fruit tray. 1/2 sheet cake etc. 1/2 single layer cuts 30 pieces, you might consider a 2 layer and have some leftovers. I hope this helps. If I have saved you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, a nickel or dime per guest, to support this site. Thank you. |
