How many people are you expecting? What time of day?
Given that you said you can't cook, I'd go with the prepared deli trays from the grocery store and vegetable and fruit platters, although they are kind of pricey so it depends on how much food you'll need.2 -
cheese and crackers0

Go to the store and buy a broasted/roasted whole chicken or two. Get a good quality bread from the store's bakery. Buy some spinach and artichoke dip, some sliced cheeses. Buy or make fresh fruit platter with berries. Pick out your drinks with bags of ice. Throw a cheery tablecloth on, set everything up. You don't have to break your budget to throw a party. It will be very nice.1

This is one of my favorite things. I serve it with celery, crackers and tortilla chips.
You can also do a lot of other crockpot stuff. Depends on if you just want appetizers or are trying to serve a full meal.
Cheese, meat and cracker trays are always a hit.
My family always goes nuts over this one:

If you are trying to serve a full dinner look into pasta. It is filling and you could have garlic bread and salad and then maybe some basic appetizers like cheese, veggie or relish trays.
Omg thanks!! Pasta is cheap and makes loads!0 -

Thanks i love CFA0 -
I would do something like pulled pork or shredded chicken sandwiches, veggie tray, variety of cold salads or side dishes, fruit, chips, dip. Buy a cake or something for dessert. You can use a slow cooker for the meat and have pretty much everything ready in advance so you are not running around cooking when 50 people show up hungry.
Alternatively sloppy joes or tacos would also be easy to make for a big crowd and largely be prepped in advance. With tacos people can assemble them as they like.1 -
