We have been invited to a friends 60th birthday. We go out regularly in a small group...approx 10 of us. We offered to contribute food for her party if she wanted.
Recently she has put up the list of food she wants, thanking us for offering to contribute. I said I'd take crisps and nuts, but also on the list wer things like breaded chicken, sausage rolls, cheese biscuits, French stick butter and so on. I asked roughly how many people we should cater for. She said she hadn't got final numbers but probably around 100.
Am I being unreasonable thinking it is too much to ask of us to supply that quantity of food? Or is it reasonable as we offered?
Whether you're planning a birthday or a hen do, you'll find plenty of ideas for your celebration on our Party forum.

OMG no!!!! This is awful...... It already now sounds like too much for me and I'd not be going, just cba with the thought it would now take to explain you're not catering for 100 etc. It's their party, their cost. I'd say I'll bring a case of beer and 4 big bags of crisps with dip.
