Sandwich dilemma....need sandwiches to serve 20

After checking around, I was astounded at the prices for a sandwich tray so am deciding to do my own. Outside of the occasional pb&j or blt, I haven't ventured into sandwich making. I found the sit sandwich and muffaletta in T&T. Do they need to be made with a round loaf?? I was thinking of long loaves that I can slice easily.

Everything needs to be ready the night before. I'm not even sure how to start my shopping list!!

Paella doesn't throw me...any cake, pie or cookie - bring it on...but these have me stopped in my tracks! HELP!!!

If it doesn't have to be fancy putting out meat & cheese & bread trays

with condiments holds up a lot better than trying to make most of them the night before. You could also put out bowls of things like chicken or tuna salad.

 
They have to be already assembled and ready to grab - no room or time for a buffet smileys/smile.gif

 
I was thinking wraps too, with colorful tortillas. use herb cream cheese for the spread

and just some ham or turkey and some sort of cheese(or not) and maybe some juliened carrots and celery for crunch(they wouldn't get soggy as fast as lettuce) these can be wrapped up individualy in plastic and easy to grab and go.
