Pasta goes a looong way. Maybe make a bolognese and some type of chicken cutlet. 2 or 3 different types of pasta.salad.

Sloppy Joes, shredded beef, or pulled pork in the crockpot, Italian sausages, brats or Polish sausages - brown ahead and keep warm in crockpot. Could have appropriate toppings such as marinara and peppers and onions or sauerkraut, respectively. Fruit or potato salad. Everything can be done ahead. Worked great for graduation parties.

Maybe a deli tray with veggies, fruits, cheese cubes, and BBQ meatballs and little smokies.

Just a thought…keep in mind, people with allergies; ie, gluten intolerant, dairy intolerant. I even have some friends who don’t eat meat, so things like BBQ, Cole slaw, and cheese, dips, fruit trays!

Potato-tinis. Buy a gazillion random martini glasses at thrift. 25 cents, no more than 1 dollar each. Make massive amounts of buttery, creamy mashed potatoes in the instapot. Accompany with every topping you can muster. Standard baked potato toppings, taco theme, steamed broccoli, gorgonzola, bacon crumbles, cheddar shreds, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized mushrooms.
Guests grab their favorite glass, plop in a scoop of hot mashed potatoes, add their favorite toppings.....voila. Very easy to walk about, talk with others while eating with a spoon. Very low fuss. Delicious!
