This is what I am thinking for a summer b-day party, ~25 people.  What do you think, enough?  I feel like I need another side dish maybe, or some sort of appetizery-snack things.

BBQ Ribs, BBQ Chicken Breasts, Orzo Pasta Salad, Baked Beans, Vinegar Slaw, Fruit Salad, Sweet Potato Cornbread, Tea, Raspberry Lemonade, Cupcakes

I think you have plenty...meat,veggie,starch,fruits and dessert.

Will there be kids? If so maybe hot dogs for them.

What about appetizers?

KoCoLoCo

Yeah, I need appetizer ideas.  Not sure what really goes w/ the rest though.  I am out of ideas.  Only a couple kids, and they will eat the chicken and ribs, so I don't have to worry about them.

Here is my appetizer tag .  I think any one of them would work for your menu.

Maybe add a veggie platter.

I think you're ok.  If you want to add some apps, make it easy and do a spread of dips.  Spinach and artichoke, hummus, a pico de gallo, all easy things that can be prepared ahead of time and left out for people to nibble on.

Mozzarella balls, a basil leaf and cherry tomato mini kabobs on toothpicks or prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella balls and/or wrapped melon balls would be easy and summery as well.

When you say BBQ, do you mean actual BBQ sauce or do you just mean grilled?  I ask because I know several people who don't like BBQ sauce.  I'd make the chicken a different way (this recipe is super easy and always popular) or do 50/50 with how you prepare the chicken.

I like the sound of everything overall.  I'm with pp who said do a variety of dips.  A veggie dip with cut veggies and a chip dip.
