get a good supermarket that caters so you cant get good food for an affordable price. mrs greens, whole foods, turco's, a bunch of them do. i think trader joes too

You can also buy a lot of the food for the party. For instance, in today's supermarkets, you can usually find all the ingredients for a salad buffet, fully prepared! The deli, of course, is a fabulous resource for soups and sandwiches. If you like, you can buy fully prepared soups or sandwiches and add your own touches: fresh basil, a dollop or two of cream, or some extra sauteed onion for the soups; and more fresh herbs, special cheeses, or dippers for sandwiches.

My first wedding we did a cold buffet. But instead of potato chips and ranch dip, it was tortilla chips and hummus and salsa. We had little buns for cold sandwiches, but we got Dijon instead of yellow mustard. (I had to give in on creamy salads) And instead of a standard celery/carrot tray, we added antipasto olives.
It was a hit, and we made it all ourselves the night before and got to relax and enjoy the day...a lot.

You could set up a taco bar. Have different kinds of meats (chicken, beef, pork), tomatoes, lettuce, salsa, etc. People could make thier taco just the way they like it. Besides, EVERYONE loves tacos.
