My husband of 25 years died recently, and I want to have a memorial for him. He had an avid interest in food; all aspects of it, growing, processing, cooking, storing, and eating. I thought a good way to celebrate his life would be to share a meal with his family and friends. He also loved hunting and fishing, and outdoors. My husband knew many people, but I have no way knowing how many might show up for the gathering. My finances are limited so I'm thinking of having the event on the beach. I need some help in figuring out the menu. I need some way to figure out what I can do that will enable me to feed a few to a mob, and not end up with a lot of waste. Can you recommend anything?

sorry for your loss, and sorry that nobody answered this back when you asked in 2014.
when finances are an issue, what I would say is have a potluck. Maybe with a theme such as international, Mexican, meats, etc or a beach theme since it's on the beach.
Potlucks are a marvelous way to have a party without incurring excessive expense
If you cannot afford to feed many people, make the main dish and have people bring in other dishes. You will also need paper goods, beverages and cutlery.
