Thanks, everyone! You guys have such wonderful ideas, and all have been helpful.
I'll have to admit, I never heard of "funeral sandwiches" and had to look back at my original post to see if I wrote "funeral reception" LOL After I did some searching, I figured it out. They do look delicious. I've printed all of this out, and will sort through as the time gets closer (October 16th) because I want to see if it will be HOT weather, or COOLER weather. One never knows in Delaware. For sure, chilled wine will be in abundance. I'll start the food selection with something a little heavier, and compliment that with dips, crackers, and some finger foods you suggested. So many choices here! Thanks, again!

It's funny as I make these so often that the name doesn't register with me till someone points it out. Say something enough, it becomes just a word. Either way it's delish. As I said, the last batch, I swapped out the ham/cheese for roast beef/cheddar and mustard for horseradish. Came out really tasty.
I've got company coming in October, and we'll be sitting out on our big front porch watching a Homecoming Parade go by around 5-6 p.m. I think about 8 will be attending, and we are all senior citizens (not interested in burgers, heavy casseroles and such).
Definitely, we will have 2-3 kinds of wines. I'm looking for easy, no mess, hearty horderves ....filling enough to take the place of a dinner. A big plus would be recipes I can make in advance. Any ideas? Thank you for whatever you can offer.
I can think of several that would work, but here are my 2 favorites: make ahead: 1-home made egg rolls. They are not as hard as they sound. I usually cut them in 1/2 before serving them. The other is cocktail meat balls, again, make ahead. As for the recipe, I pretty much follow the instrucions on the egg roll package, which is available in the produce section of the grocery store. I do use, cold slaw mix and add cut snow peas, ginger, whatever kind of meat you want and a few more spices than the recipe on the package. They freeze beautifully and heat up in no time. Use a hot and sour sauce for dipping.

Yeah, but don't you have to deep fry those suckers before or after freezing?
How about a fresh veggie pizza! Not to be confused with hot pizza. Whenever I take one to a get together it's gone in a flash.
