Hire a caterer: zuuum, Wayne, Barb, Julia, hahabogus, and Goomba.
Try it myself (with help from others): Curly Sue. This could work, but I'm not certain I'll have the time or the energy to do it. Also see the equipment notes below. Watch out for price: T E. Good point, but I think I'll be able to get a decent deal from Zach (I misspelled it in the original post, I think.) Mix and match: -L. :. Another decent idea. I could make some things, and hire out others in consultation with the professional help. Haha's Julia's admonition about other equipment (portapotties?) is well taken. I don't have the serving bowls for that much potato salad, for example. So... I'll get in touch with Zach. I really appreciate the advice, everybody modom "Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes." -- Jimmie Dale Gilmore |

Okay, I admit it, I would call my butcher, or my local Italian delicacy place, or the catering place, and they would be happy to deliver trays of nice food. No caterer hanging around, nothing like that. You can get tons of great food. Not all that expensive, either. Then, you go to the party store (no, not the liquor store) and rent the other stuff you will need for the day. Chairs, bowls, dishes, whatever. They even have helium filled balloons. Anything. Those things that hold the trays of food and have a place for those little candles to keep the food warm. And it's not just trays of baked ziti unless that's what you want. Make your life easy, Michael. Have a great time. nancy |

My general rule of thumb is no more than 20 people per bathroom, and that's worked pretty well. -L. > -- Jimmie Dale Gilmore |
