strtat2 asked:


I am thinking about doing a cold cut platter (in addition to other things including a tray of baked ziti and a tray of sausage and peppers, appetizers, salads, etc.). There are about 20 people attending and I would have American and Swiss Cheese, turkey, ham, salami. How many lbs of each cold cut should I get? Is that a good selection?

Party for 35 - Italian Cuisine - How much to order?

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008
heatherwadin asked:


I am hosting a birthday party for my fiance. We are expecting 35 people for certain, and possibly 5 more last minute arrivals. I am ordering from a local Italian restaurant but am confused on quantity. I plan to order
salad
chicken parm
eggplant parm
meatballs
baked ziti
antipasto

They have small and large. Small feeds 8-10, large feeds 18-22. I do not want a huge supple of leftovers, as has happened in the past.

In addition to this, we will have a veggie tray, chips, salsa and lots to drink.

Opinoins on what sizes would be great!!!
