Since it is midafternoon, you are probably OK on the meat, but you might consider making and freezing another 5 pounds, just in case.
I would probably double the veggies, dip, and fruits, or at least definitely add the watermelon.
You will only need about 4 gallons of beans.
Have a good time and congratulations.
