Question

Answer
It sounds like you have a good handle on the food choices--lots of variety.

Since I am an overall planner I have not become an expert in the catering area, rather relying on my hired caterer for that advice. However, I am including a list of great sites to determine quantities when you are doing your own catering. I refer hosts to it often for tips.

I am sure you will find your answer in this mix.

Have a wonderful party and good luck with your menu.
