To do next year:
More Grill Space - Add a third grill for three total grill stations.
8-10 serving spoons for desserts, etc from the crowd as well as the potato salad and rice.
Sauce Bottles: More double tipped sauce containers - blend less liquid in sauces to form fine puree before mixing to final consistency.

Pre-print Menu before Thursday - consider the weekend before. Include request that people re-use their plates if possible.
Go with the table covering, but no centerpieces.
Figure out a way to provide some music.
Consider two-three more card tables, two for prep and one for flatware at the front of the line.
Material to clean large grill, including a shovel and a brush.
