I am getting married on October 13th and I have a very super low budget for my wedding. I am expecting about 120 guests, including +1s. The theme is country/rustic. For the menu, I will be serving hamburgers and hot dogs, as well as, some sides. I looked into portions and I suppose they are supposed to be 16 oz./person; 4 oz. meat, 4 oz. side, 4 oz. veggie and 4 oz. dessert. I am going to be serving corn and green beans for the veggies, I was also thinking succotash (lima beans/corn mixture) but lima beans are so expensive that I am possibly foregoing the succotash. Anyway, I want to make sure that I am offering choices for my guests.
Here's my question, if I am serving 2 different types of veggies should I be getting enough of each to feed 120 guests or should I be doing like enough corn for 80 guests, and enough green beans for 40 guests? I just want to make sure I have enough without spending a bunch of extra money and extra hassle.
Thank you so very much for your time and advice.
