They have gotten to be the Dernier Cri events in the Caidan social set.  
Stuff that the vigilante <g> likes, even though/if he doesn't actually 
taste much of them, not unlike a wedding buffet in that regard. See if 
you can get some of the friends and family to bring dishes, preferably 
ones that won't stain the garb when dropped by a nervous person.  Finger 
foods a plus, particularly if it's at an outdoor costumed event like a 
war.  Cookies, crackers, bite sized breads with stuff on them, etc.  
Drinks in smallish cups, all the better for portion control.  Hard 
liquor is probably a bad idea.

"Welcome to the Conspiracy!" is my usual vigil advice.  The grand 
conspiracy to make the SCA happen for everyone else.
