The good news is, afternoon receptions use the least food.
This is a fine start, but it is very light, even for an afternoon reception. You also need to allow for the full 200 possible guests.
wedding cookies: 480 count- add second cookie, something with chocolate, same amount. If no cake, add additional 3rd bar or cookie, same amount
cheese straws: 400 count- either double or add sausage balls
nuts: 2 - 96oz. cans mixed nuts- need 12 pound
grapes: 20 lbs.- see fruit tray page. Do 1 1/2 times the deluxe tray for 100, this is not enough
crackers: 12 lbs.-OK have 2 pounds back just in case
chicken salad: 3 gallons? not sure about the exact measurement. It's 6 batches of my recipe. Need 6-7 gallons!
Add cheese trays or balls/logs, 25 pounds
I'm also considering doing some chocolate covered pretzels and sausage balls - probably the same quantity as the cheese straws. Both good and could be added.
