New kegerator/wedding help

[ppeck1]

Alright... So I talked my fiance into letting me build a kegerator from a vintage late 40's early 50's hotpoint fridge I found on craiglist for $70 to supply beer for our wedding (Cheaper than bottles, and easier than a pump tap). I will post pictures of the fridge as soon as I can.

So here are my questions... How many kegs will I need, or what types should I use? I know I don't have a picture of the fridge or the dimensions on hand, but will post them as soon as possible. The way the fridge is, I think I will keep it at one tap until after the wedding just to keep it simple. So for my other question, will a 5lb tank of CO2 suffice? or should I spring for a 10lb tank?

Thanks in advance, I will post pics and dimensions as soon as I can, which will likely be monday due to my work schedule. Until then, drink one for me.

P.s. I do realize that I spelled w*H*edding wrong....

How much beer are you trying to push and how many guests are you anticipating at your wedding?

yeah you're probably going to need quite a few I would think depending on how many guests and how much they drink. 5 gallons in each keg is somewhere around 2 cases. And you should probably go for the 10 lb tank just to be sure. Running out of CO2 would be the worst.
