its not AIBU but I just don’t know what the heck to bring! Any ideas? A party of family : friends around 25 adults, 8 kids.
I don’t have a signature dish, not a great cook and don’t want to turn up with a plate of sandwiches, the hosts are quite posh!

Is it lunch or dinner? Savory or sweet?

Ask the host. What they don't need is 25 people bringing enough food for 25 people!

Cheeseboard? You can make it look fancy with grapes, figs, nice crackers

Tricolour salad. With good ingredients and brownies. Dead easy

I'd do a big oven dish full of bean chilli and a few bags of tortilla chips for scooping.

Homemade sausage rolls? Easy peasy to make and always goes down well.
