[quote=Anonymous]Agree with prior poster that OP could probably do this at home.  We have hosted a holiday party with real food (brisket and latkes) of around 60 people (I think one year we hit over 70) of adults and kids and our house was smaller than that.  I bet if you thought about it, there is already a lot of seating in this house.  The things we did do to maximize seating areas was:  moved formal dining table and filled dining room with smaller round tables so that it sat roughly 21 rather than just 10; added chairs wherever they would fit (for example, folding chairs next to sectional couch in family room, extra chairs in living room near couch, etc.); if you have a finished basement, let kids hang out down there to reduce crowding upstairs.  We served food buffet style in kitchen from island and then people distributed themselves around the house to eat and mingle.  Put bar in living room.  We were always fine with the 4 bathrooms in the house for that size crowd.  Since we do this every year, we got a lot of party supplies like tables, plates, silverware, etc., but you can either rent or use disposable for all of that. If you use a caterer, they can help plan for lots of this stuff.  [/quote]
