Your menu sounds great and I hope I make it to the event!  One suggestion.  
If you are going to flavor some of the honey shortbreads, may I suggest you 
somehow identify what flavoring(s) you use with an initial or colour and 
make it very clear which is which.  Some folks have really odd allergies, 
like Mistress Jeanne, Master Chirhart's wife, who is allergic to lavender 
(who the heck is allergic to something like that?? ((private comment)) ).
