Actually you don't serve it like that, you mainly have a main table where you put food on!.
they should be bite sized for example cup cakes
don't worry about a formal course dinner
It's easier when you have small foods easier to clean and relaxes guests

-cup cakes
-candy

I say BBQ if possible!. Don't just have hotdogs and burgers but also have marinated portebello mushrooms, fish, and chicken!. also have cold salads!. I'd do a fix-your-own nacho buffet too!.!.!. cheap and easy! Keep nacho cheese in a crockpot, provide chips, sour creme, salsa, black beans, avacado, and olives on the buffet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
