Not necessary to go overboard with food and prep. Maybe just provide the main course and have everyone bring sides. As host you are opening up your home and that is the main part of any herf. While some herfs may be larger than others, the size or quantity of food has no bearing on its "epic-ness"
As far as booze, it depends on the host laws in your state. If someone gets drunk on your alcohol in Cali and causes an accident, the host has a big problem.

A Herf is the GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE WHO ENJOY CIGAR SMOKING
That is what makes it Great

I have been at herfs with 2-4 people that have been as enjoyable as the Big Herfs, I personal like it anytime I can have a cigar with Good Friends New and Old

My herfs are not epic in any sense, but we have fun and, so far, no one has died.

We do the herfs as a pot luck. Tradition has it that I smoke a brisket and do little else except harass people. If they want something else to eat or anything besides water to drink, it has to be brought (oh yeah, and they better bring chairs too). Everyone has gotten pretty comfortable taking over my kitchen, which is a good thing.

A relaxed atmosphere, good people and good sticks are all it takes, IMO.

Of course, it helps to have one of these in your backyard to aid in the atmosphere, but what do I know...
