Hi,

Happy party. Lots of food looks good. I would suggest 6 pounds each of the meatballs and sausages. I also will caution that shrimp is unbelievably popular, and you want either at least 12 pounds, or skip- maybe do a shrimp dip? You could omit one of the other appetizer meats if you increase the shrimp. You might add a 12 pack of sugar free non-cola, or hao about a few gallons of iced tea? Don't forget the ice.

Pasta salad, 2-3 pounds dry pasta plus fixings.

Thank you so much! I will see if that much shrimp will be in my budget!
