I think the OP needs to invite less people. When you have large crowds
in your home people tend to walk away with oven racks..

Only things that come with one rack are girls ;)

"Bake" is not a single temperature, it covers maybe 350 - 450 degrees

Plan on longer cooking times, and higher temperatures, depending on the
items. Ideally, you would have a convection oven; in a standard (radiant)
oven, multiple items create cool spots.

Best advice is to experiment with a few dishes now, so you aren't surprised
when it's on the line.

Our wall oven is smaller than ovens I have had that were in a floor
range. My ovens have always had two shelves. With a full oven, you
should set temp somewhat higher. I often bake stuff the day before and
heat it in the microwave....better than dealing with potential for some
dishes to be undercooked and delay the meal. Better yet, since the
crowd will be unusually large, you might want to consider asking some of
the guests to bring dishes.
