I'm interested in what kinds of foods are served at such an "open house" kind of party? I'm in the south, so there HAS to be Iced Tea!

I have marinated a pork tenderloin, then grilled it early the day of the party. Sliced fairly thin, diagonally, and placed on a tray with sour dough rolls, and had homemade or semi-homemade condiments in cute dishes beside it (honey-hustard, bbq, green goddess), and everyone can make a little sandwich.
My sister is famous for cold shrimp. She has two large plastic bowls shaped like a shell, and fills them with ice, then lays large, romaine lettuce leaves on the ice, and fills the lettuce with shrimp.
