how much food do i need to have to feed 28 adults & 10 kids for a birthday party?!
Answers:
I know you can order cupcakes from Walmart at a reasonable price and for this many people you will probably just need 3 dozen.....I am in charge of parties at my work and I have ordered cupcakes and I ask if they can smooth the top as if it looks like a cake and you can put your own decorations.......Chips maybe 3 to 4 bags......mac and cheese.....like 3 to 4 boxes if you plan to make it......sandwiches if you make 2 loaves and cut them up in 4ths it will make lots of sandwiches....depending also on what you are planning to fill them with.
I love to make chicken salad sandwiches.....egg salad sandwiches.....pasta salad.....sausage in bbq sauce (I like to buy the Ekrich 3lb pkg and slice them in circles and put them in a crock pot).....chips and dips....for adults....I would keep the macaroni for the kids but cut it down to 1 to 2 boxes.....oh and on the sandwiches I like to use the Hawaiian bread its awesome and are a big hit at my parties.
Hi Little Missy, with the children it is fairly easy you can just make up a large trifle and ice cream for savouries you could have little pastries and of course a cake and pop. For the adults macaroni cheese does not sound too inspiring as they could probably have that any day of the week. I would suggest that you do some chicken pieces and various nibbles etc and a couple of bottles of wine or a punch. Here is a site that will give you a few more ideas than I can write at this time. Just remember preparation is the key and the more you can do the day before the better I hope this helps,all the best. Rab
