We had a big Greek party a few weekends ago. Here is how we pulled it off. I made pastitsio the morning of the party and didn't bake it until an hour before the party began. I made spanakopita bars also the morning of the party after I had put the pastitsio together and served the bars at room temperature.

We also had some cheeses, olives, dates, roasted red peppers, honey, olive oils and pita bread. The party was potluck so our friends brought many other things to enjoy.
