Rule of thumb around here is, head server to coordinate, one server per 
table, at least one drink server (head server may be a second drink server) 
and two servers for high table.

Oh, dear me!  Is this normal in Caid, that the cook should provide this 
stuff, rather than the canton/college/barony/kingdom?  OUr barony has a 
collection of stuff which is signed out from the quartermaster by the cook 
or autocrat.  We loan it up to Kingdom regularly too.

The
>hardest part are tablecloths.

In atlantia, guest bring their own clothes.  Twelth night sometimes has a 
color theme and guests are requested to try to stick with the theme, but 
it's not required.
