Is this enough food for 20 people?

Question

Ok, so our housewarming party is this weekend.  We have about 20 people.  The food and drinks I have planned is as follows;

Savoury
- Antipasto Platter (cured meats, cheeses, olives, sundried tomatos, marinated peppers, etc)
- Marinated Chicken Wings (about 100)
- Mini Pizzas (about 50)
- Spinach & Ricotta Filos (about 50)
- Bread with Dips (olive oil, sundried tomato tapenade, black olive tapenade)
- Chips & Nuts (as fillers on the side)

Sweet
- Rum Balls (very fruity with very little rum - about 50)
- Cupcakes (2 types - about 50 all up)
- Wedding Cake (top layer that would easily feed 50 people!)
- Fruit Platter (grapes, strawberries, apricots - easy finger food fruits)
- Chocolate Mints (50)

Drinks
- Punch
- 2 bottles of white wine
- 2 bottles of red wine
- 2 bottles of sparkling
- 2 bottles of non-alcoholic sparkling
- mid beer
- strongbow
- sprite and coke cola

I am sure we have enough drinks and sweets, however do you think we have enough savouries?  Thanks in advance for your answers!

Wow, that sounds lovely!. Very well thought out and generous too!, can I come please?.

The thing I have to remind myself when it comes to party food is just that, it's a party and these are nibbles, not dinner for the guests.

you want to figure that the average person drinks 1.5 - 2 drinks an hour. The average bottle of wine is only about 4 glasses each. Unless your guests aren't drinkers, or your party is really short, I would get some more wine and beer. If you have left over, some liquor stores will buy it back from you, or you could always just hang on to it, for future get-togethers. 

As far as your menu, it seems to be more than enough. You should be fine. Relax, and have fun!!!

you might want to add one or two more normal foods, unless you know everybody will like those things. the mini pizzas sound good.  maybe you could also get some raw veggies(carrots, broccoli etc) and dips, ranch, dill etc.
