[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 687196, member: 11791"] Food for 200. We've done funeral teas that big. Do not get into anything complicated, and keep your number of items low. You don't need anything fussy. You need a short list of snacks, something filling enough to count as a meal, and some desserts. And then... make sure you have LOTS of each. For example: Snacks: Nuts, chips and dip, crackers and cheese. Sound simple? It is... unless you want 5 kinds of chips and 8 kinds of crackers and some complicated combination of cheeses. Keep things to "max of threes". Three kinds of chips. Three kinds of crackers. Three kinds of cheese. It makes it easy to remember what goes where when you are refilling. In any combination, consider the tastes of all age groups present. Kids don't tend to like aged smoked cheddar... adults get tired of brick. Keep your "meal" stuff more finger-based. Pizza. Hamburgers (but they can be messy). Tacos. Chicken wings / drums. Smokies on a bun. And no, you don't need three complete meal types... but again, consider the ages and tastes present. And yes, the rule of three applies to dessert too. Example: Cake and ice cream, cookies, and fruit salad. OR, Ice cream, with fruit salad and two other toppings, and cookies or squares on the side.
