I have just a few ideas which can be made in advance - souvlaki skewers (lamb, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp), skewers marinated to mimick a Horiatiki salad (tomato, cucumber, olive, feta, green pepper, red onion), spanakopita, humus with pita triangles, & dolmathes.

This is a great crowd pleaser! https://images.food52.com/oy_i0CvuqUM5DzU2uT1qomak2YE=/750x500/filters:format(webp)/2ff80a2a-5e28-4573-b327-ff64c4b43e23--630Greek_Chicken_Sheet_Pan_Dinner_with_Green_Beans_and_Feta_rect_OT_pan_napkin_3-001.jpg
You can prep everything, make the marinade and marinate the chicken a day ahead, then combine and pop in the oven day of…
Just read the recipe through before grocery shopping as there are ingredients missing from the ingredient list that are mentioned in the directions.
I have multiplied this, subbed different veggies and made a vegan version.
My only tip is not to overcrowd the pans as you don’t want to it to poach in too much liquid.
A big Greek salad and, as Nancy suggested, an appetizer buffet would be perfect.

A possible menu - a buffet of mezze, most of which can be prepared in advance…dips, breads, eggplant and potato sliced or cut in wedges and cooked, filled pastries, baked stuffed tomatoes, cheese with oil and herbs on top, marinated and grilled fish, lamb chops.

Sorry this part got cut off. I also want to be able to prepare the food the day before or the night before.
