HELP-entertaining 12 tomorrow night

[cjm]

DH & I are entertaining (casual) 12 people tomorrow night for dinner, ranging from age 50 to 10. I'm needing some suggestions as to what to serve. I would like something I can keep warm in chafing dishes.

DH & I have discussed serving something like gumbo/jambalaya but, what to serve with. I will have salad or relish tray and also some mixed/cut fresh fruit.

TIA!!!

In Louisiana, gumbo is served with potato salad and French bread. Don't know why. Those are just the rules. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif

Have a great party!
