Does anyone know.......?

The formula you use when making a buffet?

I'm not explaining this very well.....if you are having 80 people to an event you should order/make food for x amount......does that make sense to anyone?

lol it makes sense but i don't usually use a method
(eg 2 sausages per person) i just throw out a load of stuff-
mind you i end up with too much most of the time- but that means i
have snacks for the next few days!

Not for making a buffet, I always end up with too much leftover, but when I order buffets at work I order for the amount of people, but half the drinks. So for 80 people I'd order 40 cartons of OJ/Water etc...

Can't be much help I'm afraid. When I make my own stuff I just make enough for everyone to have 2 or 3 pieces of each thing.

We are having an engagement party and the woman doing our buffet says if we have 200 people take of 50 and make it up for that amount of people.
So it would be 150 people.... not really sure what you mean though....lol

Thanks everyone!

I'm crap at trying to explain things like that!

You know how when you get married you can run away to a tropical land and do it quietly? Can you do the same for Christenings??!!??!!

I swear this will be the end of me!

My ex's mum and dad split up just before christmas, so there is friction for you straight off, never mind that every idea they come up with is for some dark and dingy old mans club with Chicken curry 'n' chips top of every buffet list (please note that I have nothing against chicken curry and chips, it just isn't what I imagined for my daughters christening!). The reason for his parents split was drink related, so there's another sore point if "someone" decides to have a drink at it (I for one will be getting plastered!!!).

Who needs enemies when you have family!!!!

its true you can't choose your family!!

BUT..you can ignore their advice, have your daughters christening how you want it and get plastered so that you don't care about the friction
or what they get up to....lol

I found that at harrisons chrsitening hardly any of the food was touched at all, everyone was to busy chatting away and wanting a feel of him that the food got wasted.
I wouldn't go over board with it.
