Cold Cut Sandwiches for a crowd...
Im making sandwiches for 20 on Sunday and want to keep it simple with a small variety of coldcuts and cheeses, with the usual accompaniments (lettuce tomato chips pickles) but Im open to any ideas for a few condiments or sides to make it a little interesting!

Here's a recipe for Ina Garten's sun-dried tomato dip. I happen to love this on poultry sandwiches -- whether roasted or grilled chicken or sliced turkey. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/sun-dried-tomato-dip-recipe
And, in general, a couple of nice homemade dips set out with chips, pretzels and crudités would be perfect (putting aside the fact that they can be used as condiments on the sandwiches) and can be made ahead.
Instead of making sandwiches ahead, why not make a couple of platters with meats, cheeses, lettuce, breads, and have your guests create their own? It might be more interesting for them and they could then choose the ingredients they like and skip those they don't. Bonus: Less work for you, too!
Also...don't forget pita bread, and glutin free options. Maybe some lettuce leaf, endive, or radicchio for making wraps. A tazakisauce would be nice too.
Known for use on Reubens, hamburgers, iceberg lettuce wedge, day-after-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches.
Easy to make at home and much better than bottled versions. Also you can control the fixings that go in or stay out, according to family tastes.
Here are a couple classic recipes:
