An aside about nibbles:  my experience is that if given more-or-less 
free choice of snacks and nibbles, people will eat at _least_ twice as 
many savoury things as sweet, and maybeeven three or four times as much.

Not necessarily.  If you serve during scheduled breaks in other 
activities (rather than just putting everything on the sideboard and 
leaving it there), the and the food is really tasty, people will eat up 
pretty quickly.   It also helps if you can put out more than one dish of 
each thing and make the sideboard as long as possible-- it cuts down on 
congestion.
