03/14/13 		This is all fine, but you are serving over lunch time and you need some kind of lunch entree! Sandwiches would go with the chips or, or pizza for everyone. Or look at the taco bar and do for 1/3 the amount for 100, with the lettuce.

veggie platter for 25, OK
pineapple fruit platter for 25 with 1 litre yoghurt dip, OK

cheese platter approx 6 lbs, OK, count the pita chips as the crackers

4 lbs tortilla chips,
3 lbs ripple chips,
1-2 pounds corn chips, you only need about 6 pounds total unless they are really really big chip eaters...

4 lbs pita chips, 3 plenty
2 lbs munchies (mixed chips), not necessary with the above
pretzels, (2 pounds would be plenty- may have some left)

2 litres salsa,
1 litre guacamole, this is popular, either skip or get at least 2 litres

600 mls chip dip,
1 litre sour cream, I would combine these to make more chip dip
600 mls hummous, I would do 1500
500 mls asiago dip, Stretch with some of the sour cream?

1 lb coffee,
1/2 lb decaff,
good, see beverage planning page for help on sugar, cream and hot water/tea
110 small juice boxes, about half that is probably fine unless the party is more than 3 hours.
bottled water.
