Quick Help please

I'm having a hosting a lunch for my sister and mom and nieces They are coming to see my new home.

I have cooked chicken already for chicken salad. I am going to make it tonight Mix it and then put it in the fridge over night. I will make the sliders tomorrow before then arrived. Or should I wait?

Also I am making that Veggie Pizza that everyone is making now at days. (the one with cream cheese and veggies) A friend told me it is okay to make it then put it in the fridge overnight that she does it all the time and she says it seems to make it taste better because it has time to meld (her word.) together. Has anyone done that?

I am making mini quiches tomorrow. I am thanks for any suggestions.

I already made my fruit salad and I will make a dozen chocolate chip cookies tonight.

better. Everything should keep refrigerated. The first to arrive can help make the drinks and make sure you get yourself ready 2hrs before lunch is to start. They really came to see you and your house so enjoy and take your mom's help and give her the first cookie.

12. No, don't take it out until you are ready to serve and refrigerate after you eat, if some is left.
