This looks pretty good:

So the chicken and salad from maggianos? Where do you get flatbread apps? Prepared tenderloin?

Balduccis has a nice tenderloin. Do not get the one from wegman's. It's disgusting.

Balducci's also has sushi. Wegman's sushi is pretty decent.

Don’t know why I didn’t think of sushi — that’s a great idea. And someone else makes it — yay!

How about another option for kids who can't/don't eat fish?

Sliders or Chicken nuggets? Pizza Rolls?

I could offer sliders with the beef tenderloin. I’m trying to not have kiddie food.

Thank you. It's a grown up night.

Are you planning to cater or ok with cooking?

Do teens care about eating a ton of food in their dresses? Moby with their rice is like instant blow up for me.

This sounds so nice. I started out thinking you were crazy, and they wouldn't want more than the Chik-fik-A tray, but it sounds like this is typical for your group, and you're so nice to do it for them!

I love the idea of tenderloin sliced thin. I think sliders with different sauces are great. I also love the idea of mini desserts.

My only cautionary tale is that sometimes, kids get nervous before prom ... some might not eat that much. And I'd lean toward things that aren't messy.

Do you want to make or buy? Is budget an issue?

Whole Food and Balduccis (and probably Wegmans) have individual desserts/pastries.

If you are planning to make yourself, I’d order a bunch of those tiny plastic shot glass type dessert containers that cone with mini plastic spoons (amazon sells these) and also little muffin wraps, and I’d make a variety of cookies, brownies, blondies and put in the individual wrappers and I’d make chocolate and butterscotch pudding and put into the shot glass things (I’d crumble heath bar on the butterscotch ones and put a raspberry or whipped cream or both on the chocolate ones).

NP but this is really kinda of awesome and outta this world for these teens. Taking note. How fun to do a beef tenderloin with sauces at home. This also teaches them home food in a way!

A lot of teens are vegetarians.

So look at their menu and if it appeals order from there - they easily cater for crowds (they’d just consider 20 people a to-go order, not even catering).
