Only advice you need... cook it the night before.

I am not trying o be bad. Use what you have.
IMO - crab breaks apart and you get little wow factor from it in the gumbo.
I have never added crawfish to seafood gumbo. Etouffee yes, gumbo no.
I like my oysters raw, broiled or fried.
However, I love shrimp in gumbo. The more, the better.

Crab for flavor more than anything.
I'm from a rice farming family. We put crawfish in seafood gumbo. Oyster are a must!

Chappy, bring money, that's a $200 meal if done right.

Yes. The stock is way better the next day. You can actually cook the stock two days before. As long as the stock is nice and rich you can add the shrimp and oysters at the end.

Probably more than that. I have put crawfish in. A good filler and just different. If I use crabs for flavor I use the whole gumbo then put claw or lump in at the end so it doesn't breakup. Oysters I put in at the very end after heat is off or really in the bowl served.
10 - 12 lbs shrimp
5 lbs crawfish tails
1 quart oysters
12 gumbo crabs
4 -5 lbs crabmeat
1 stick andouille optional

It's my wife's birthday. My FIL is covering most of it. I'm getting off very light here

That's the plan, I'll head and peel the shrimp and use the shells and heads for stock along with the crab parts

As long as you don't add the seafood until just before serving, yes.

This is right about what I had in my mind. It is looking more like we will only have about 15 so I think we will be good.

You will have leftovers, which is a good thing. And those volumes do look portioned right to me.
