Hey, I hear you there. DH has a massive family, we had 90 for our DD christening. We found a buffet place (within an RSL club) it was all you could eat. Everyone bought cakes with them so I didnt have to worry about dessert. Dessert was part of all you could eat, everyone was into the ice cream. I heard so many people say they were full and would be interested in dinning there again. (little did they know it was only $20 a head hehe)

Im Greek and I have been to some x ie Christenings. Its about a the service not the food. SIL did a ****tail thing and it cost $40 a head and there was like 130 people! NUTS! If we have another then it will be really really small!

How many people were you looking at having? Do you have favourate restaurant that you can organise a good price for a set menu.
