The success with which they freeze and reheat will depend largely on
their size. Certainly phyllo-based hors doeuvres can be frozen and baked
without thawing, since the moisture content of the pastry is quite low.
Really large phyllo-based pastries tend to become soggy, often whether
they're thawed first or not.

My guess is you have approximately a month before your feast (isn't
intuition grand?); maybe you could make one of whatever size you want,
and try it.
