Is this the correct amount?

My daughter is having a 11:00 am brunch at her wedding. The menu includes chicken salad and ham salad mini croissants, vegetable tray, cheese tray, mini muffins and tropical fruit salad. I think I have all the amounts figured out except the mini croissants. We have estimated 200 people. We have 151 confirmed and 62 unconfirmed. Is 2 1/2 mini croissants too much per person (500 sandwiches)? I figured 63 pounds of chicken and ham salad (approximately 8 gallons). Is this too much?

Not too much, it is what I would do, assuming the usual other dishes, fruit, dessert, etc. I would do about 300 chicken and 200 ham salad, so you would have some ham salad left. 8 gallons is about 64 pounds; 1 pound would make about 5.
