I think we'll have plenty to eat...here's what's already done:
double-batch crab puffs in freezer
10 dozen spinach balls in freezer
5 dozen tricolor scrolls in freezer
2.5 dozen creole chicken skewers prebaked in freezer
40 life-size edible mask cookies baked, ready for decorating
Add those to the shrimp mold, pastry brie, sliced cheese & crackers, fruit & veggies, plus the King Cake coming, and we have a decent spread! Since there's always so much punch leftover even for the larger parties, I've decided to forgo the punch this year & only have hurricanes plus the full bar. There is one more edible experiment I'm hoping to figure out, but that will remain a surprise. :)
Decorate your own edible mask was such a hit last year that I'm only going to decorate 10 as examples, leaving the rest with white basecoat icing, and more table space so more people can decorate at once. I bought reusable plastic candy/icing mini-squeeze bottles with tip covers so no one will have to wait for icing, I have extra decorating sprays in hopes we won't run out, and I'll get out my fun confetti sprinkles this time too. I can't wait to see everyone's creativity this year!

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
