I thought I would just give some quick tips...If you are short on serving bowls try hollowing out half a watermelon.
Don't attempt to serve food that has to be prepared at the last minute. It's less stressful and more convenient to have most everything prepared beforehand.
Choose foods that won't spoil fast, especially if you are blessed with a warm day. Foods with mayonnaise will spoil if not kept at a proper temperature. If you have a potato salad or macaroni salad with mayonnaise, keep it in an ice bowl bath.
As much as possible have food that guests can serve themselves. Also, keep in mind, people do a lot of standing during BBQs (ample seating or not). Try and limit the amount of foods that require a fork and knife. Make everything small and manageable.
Have plates stacked at the start of the buffet area and then cutlery and napkins at the end.
Use citronella candles to keep insects away and have some insect lotion or spray available for guests to use.
Provide garbage cans/bags. This will save yourself some cleanup work after your guests have gone home.
