3 gallons would make 48 1 cup servings of gumbo (that's about a 1 ladle serving, give or take a little)
Is there anything else being served? If not, I might make 4 gallons just to be safe.

I'm making the chicken and sausage gumbo and someone else is making a seafood gumbo. I'm assuming other food will be there also

Sounds like a good time. I made seafood gumbo yesterday. Wish I would have waited to make it today for game. After 4 kids and I ate it, in-laws came and got the rest so none left over

Five or six, I hope you have one big assed pot(five quart cast) for the roux and then the gumbo

Yeah I've been at it since around nine this morning. Making all the roux is what takes forever! I usually get the roux already made but I had to Prove to the Mrs. That I knew what I was doing!

You show her, we won't tell her you were on TD looking for help.

I usually allow for 12 oz per person for an all adult event and have plenty. That will account for seconds. Some folks use a lot of rice and some do not. That's for gumbo as the main course. If you're having more than one entree, 8 oz a person will likely be fine.

Thanks for the help man, sounds spot on

1 gallon = 10-12 people depending on how much your people eat. That's how we sell it at work. 30 people would be fine with 3 gallons.
ETA: RICE ON THE SIDE. I don't include rice in this measurement.
