Congrats, hope it goes well, and for brisket hmmm. A wholesale size brisket can feed about 3-4 people depending on size, 30-35 briskets. and by pounds one person usually eats around half a pound (8 ounces) or 50 pounds. or its a course menu, go for (4 ounces) or 25 pounds

Wow thats a lot of mouths to feed! Congratulations on your wedding...to serve 100 is more then just buying the meat, its also the prep and cooking time for that amount. Wish I could give you some sort of good formula to follow, here are a few recipies you could go over with her and decide how much time she wants to put into this as well as try a few of the recipies and decide which one you both really like!
