Hi, Debbie, What a happy occasion! This is somewhat affected by whether the guests are all ages or mostly near her age. I am estimating for all ages at a meal time, reduce 10% if it is mostly her age, and 10% if it is not at a meal time.
Vegetable Beef Soup-3 gallons Cheese Slices w/Variety Crackers- 12 pounds cheese, 6 crackers, some left Chicken Salad Croissants- use th reception level from the sandwich page, and do 2 mini croissants, not 1 large Spinach Dip w/chips- 8 pounds chips, 6 quarts dip
Pasta Salad 5 pounds dry pasta plus add-ins Fruit- use the fruit tray page Cake/Ice Cream- full sheet cuts 50 servings- maybe a 2 layer? 4 gallons per 100
Punch- 8 gallons If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per person, to support this site. Thanks. |
