| Our friend group has five couples, and we're hosting everyone next weekend (Friday night, probably 7-11ish). Typical get-togethers are nothing fancy, usually BBQ or various small plates to snack on. I am a terrible cook and don't have time to cook the day they're coming over anyway. What should I feed our guests? I assume it would be monstrous to get pizza? |

| Get a tray or two of lasagna or baked pasta. Add some garlic bread and a nice green salad. Classic, easy, not pizza. Or make a pot of chili in the slow cooker and some Jiffy cornbread. |

| Badluccis does a really good Mediterranean platter deal with lots of dips, meat, salads, pita… and they deliver. |

| You could get catering taco packs from Taco Bamba or Bar Taco. Or Magiannos meal for 8 but get an extra main dish and extra desserts. |

| Pulled pork in the crock pot. I would make it the day before and simply reheat. Serve on Hawaiian rolls. Sides could be coleslaw, potato salad, fruit and dessert. |

I'd be fine with pizza! Get a salad to go with it.
We ordered District Taco catering for a dinner like this and everyone loved it. |

Make Thai food.
Easiest and quickest to make, delicious, exotic and most cost effective. Pad thai with shrimp, panang curry with beef, rice - all of these can be made ahead from readily available pastes etc. - Entrees. Make or order some chicken satay, spring rolls, thai barbeque wings and papaya salad - as appetizers. Singa beer. Litchi or mango served with vanilla icecream. Done. |

| Maybe fajitas from Uncle Julio’s. Good for letting everyone customize. You can get some chicken and some steak, and there will be lots of veggies as well. |

You can get pizza, just order “nicer” pizza and make a large salad.
Adding on to the ideas that others have said - a platter or selection of stuff from Lebanese taverna (if you are near arlington, you could go to thier market) |
