I am a college student hosting a networking social between me and members of a professional club. The theme is Charcuterie Board. I was originally just gonna pay everything myself. But there's like 9 members of people in this club and cheese and wine is expensive. 

The party is next week- would I be an asshole if I made it into a Charcuterie themed potluck? Does that err some weird social cue? I'm nervous enough about this already- I don't want to make people upset. Right now I'm really dreading this actually because I'm trying to ask my room mates if I can use the shared kitchen for this and they're not saying no, but they're not saying yes and I understand if they say no-it's a lot of people. But also them not saying a clear response just spikes my anxiety so much.
