Default How much coffee for a 50 cup urn?

We're throwing a rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding party and
assorted out of town guests next Thursday evening and I've volunteered
to supply the coffee (actually, it's been long assumed that I will).
Unfortunately, it looks like we'll be using a 50 cup percolator (eek!),
something with which I have absolutely zero experience. I'm going to
be using a home roasted Kenya but have no idea how much to use. Also,
I traditionally roast my Kenya to Full City+. Would this be
appropriate or does a percolator (eek!) suggest a different roast?
Keep in mind that this event is not likely to be attended by any
finely-honed coffee palates. My wife and I, on the other hand, would
like to enjoy it.

Any ideas and/or experiences you could relate would be a big help.

Thanks,
Mike
