Begin with how many mouths will be in attendence at this dinner.  That is 
always the best place to begin.  From there, figure your budget (max) and 
then begin to flesh in the feast.

At least 16 since the class has 15 students and a teacher.  I'm going to guess
20.

Budget is currently unknown with a high possibility of getting $5-$10 a head.

Congratulations!  Go for it!  I'm hoping you have period food BETTER than
Renaissance Fairs.  There's nothing like being nagged about costume details when
standing in front of the Teriyaki Beef Sticks stand.  <yerch!>  You've been
directed
to Stephan's Florilegium, right?
