Cooking for 25-30

I'm having a party for around 25-30, and will be smoking BB ribs and pork butts. I will also be roasting some chicken. So, I was thinking of 2 8 pound butts, 6 slabs of ribs, and around 50 pieces of chicken (plus all the sides of course). What do you all think?

Also, what about some tips on getting this all done in one WSM? I was debating smoking the butts for around 6 hours and then moving them to the oven wrapped tightly in foil with some mop liquid, to make room for the ribs.
 
That will be plenty.

I would do the butts ahead of time, rest, pull, cool, chill then reheat for serving. I would likely do either the ribs or chicken ahead of time and reheat one and cook the other the day of the party. Or I'd do both ahead of time.
 
I'm doing a very simalar cook for 60 - 75 and you're numbers look right on. I'm doing the butts the day before and then cooking the ribs and chicken the day of.

When's your party?
 
My party is June 28th, which gives me some more practice time! I've got a couple racks on right now! I'll take the advice and do the butts ahead of time and then reheat. What is the best way to reheat to preserve moisture? I was thinking very low oven temp with some mop liquid. Thanks all!
