I'm trying to put together a buffet menu for reception.I will have about 150-200 guests, I dont want to be stuck with a lot of food left over. I have some guests that dont eat pork, some dont eat chicken and some dont eat turkey. I was going to try to do a variety, heres what I have:

Meats:Sliced Baked Ham, Sliced Turkey Breast In Gravy, Baked Chicken Pieces
Vegetables: Sweet Corn and Green Beans
Starches: Mash Potatoes or Mac and Cheese
Salads: Toss
Meat and Cheese Tray To Snack On
Desert: Fruit Platter and Cupcakes

Is this doing to much? With the varierty of meat choices about how many pounds of each should I order? A pound feeds 4-6 people.

Thanks In Advane

    With your guess being they don't eat certain things I see what you have as a good option. We are having 3 different meats for that reason also.

    I think you've hit the options on the head. Not to throw another monkey wrench but are there any non meat eaters at all? If so I would replace the turkey option with something like veggie lasgana or eggplant parm.

    i would order mostly chicken and then a few pouns of the others like 20-30 pounds of chicken and 15 of the others? (Im no good at math)

    I think you covered everyone's diet options which is good, but I love how Miss J asked about the vegetarians.  That's always a  nice thing to do.
