I need to tell the 20-30 or so different people what to bring. I plan to ask a couple to bring cornbread and a couple to bring a salad......someone to bring a veggie try and someone to bring a fruit tray.

I'll be supplying the cake for dessert,

What else can I tell people to bring?

Answer 7

Answer 8

A big spread of appetizers leading up to the chili feast!

Chili is kind of a one dish meal, so it doesn't need too many sides.  Plus it's difficult to deal with a lot of sides and a bowl of chili at a buffet.  

Appetizers can be Mexican style shrimp cocktail (shrimp, avacados, citrus, tomato), chips and guac, salsa, quesadilla wedges, 7 layer dip, taquitos, etc.
