First, decide that no matter what the feast will happen, and happen
successfully.  I would make a plan to add other things that you could
prepare that day if you get more people.  A stew, if you have kitchen help
to cut everything.  Plain rice, which is almost always welcome, especially
if you have a lot of vegetarians.  A salad, if you have people to cut.  You
could add more pies if you used already prepared crusts that day if you had
someone to do the prep work.  Maybe you could add mushroom pasties instead,
Cariadoc's recipe is good.  

HTH.
