Lavender,
That is too many seperate activities. Particularly with some of them
running simultaneously, such as the Royal and the populace lunch. Drop
some of these or either delegate entire items to someone else or have
them do them under your supervision. You hazard not being able to give
enough attention to each one to do a good job on all of them. If you
can't get some volunteers then the activities are not important enough
to your group to do them. Another advantage of delegating some of these
is that it gives some less experienced cooks a chance to shine by doing
some smaller, less complex activities than a regular feast.
Sometimes extra money can be used to lighten the load of some of these,
but you say you are already on a tight budget.
