Any tips for throwing a Surprise 35th Anniv. Bbq for a crowd of 50?

I am throwing this bbq for my parents as a surprise anniversary party. I’m having trouble coming up with what kind of food I plan to have, and if my choices are wise. So far, this is my menu…. (however, I am unsure of quantities for 50)
Appetizers
*Caprese Salad sticks (tomato, mozz. cheese, basil on kabob skewers)
*Bruschetta
*Queso Dip

Sides
*Potato Salad
*Strawberry Pecan mixed green salad
*Mac and Cheese (unsure about this one)

Meat
*Italian Beef
*Cajun Chicken wings

Dessert
*Italian Creme cake (pre-ordered)

I feel comfortable making these items. Any tips on time management or quantity of food needed? Any other tips on entertainment or seating advice? I’m a little stressed and I have 2 weeks to figure out the details. I pray for nice weather! Thanks for your input!

Thanks!!!
