I am having a gradulation party for 200 people.
My Menu is Meatballs in Spaghetti Sauce
Hot dogs w. rolls

Pasta Salad
Macaroni Salad
Potato Salad

Can you tell me is I have 100 hot dogs, how many meatballs the 2 inch pre made ones, that I need?

Also how much pasta, vegtables, and italian dressing I need for 200

Also, how many pounds of macaroni for macaroni salad, and how much mayonnaise

On potato salad, I need to know the same, how many pounds potatos and how much mayonnaise.

Thank you for any help you give.

Kathy, there are already recipes posted on this site for quite a few potato, pasta and macaroni salads for 100 people. You basically need about 4 gallons of potato salad (starts with 35 pounds of potatoes) and 3 gallons of each of the others for each 100 people (each starts with 6-7 pounds of dry pasta).

I saw that you are also doing sloppy joes. I would probably not do spaghetti and meatballs with two pasta salads and sloppy joes, what about meatball subs instead?

I would probably do 100 people's worth of sloppy joes (24 pounds of burger, 2 electric roasters) PLUS 100 people's worth of meatballs, which is about 30 pounds frozen plus sauce. 100 hotdogs are a puff of wind in the face of 200 teenagers.

See the sandwich event page for a complete table all about condiments (pickles, ketchup, etc) for the sandwiches. Remember, the amount is for 100- you would need to double.
