Cutting board is a good one! Maybe even two to deter people from using the counter top.

Grilling utensils for the grill.
An extra wine opener in case the prior guests broke the other one.
Good luck with all this, Salty Dogs.

From someone who cooks a lot on St. John, to make me happy, you need:
a big pot for cooking pasta
a strainer
a large (12", or the biggest your stove can handle) non-stick skillet, preferably heavy--with a lid
If you can, I would love the same skillet, but without the non-stick coating
a grater
a vegetable peeler
a good wine opener
a beer opener
a spatula
a pair of tongs
a long stemmed lighter for when the grill won't light
one more pot--about medium size, for heating sauces, etc.
Two flat baking sheets
some kind of knives--don't bother buying the expensive ones unless you are going to have someone sharpen them in bewteen guests. I bring my own, and I know other people do also. I also travel with ziplocs, so don't care about storage containers.
Also, I like an assortment of large bowls/plates, for serving food.
What you don't need, and what I see a ton of, is baking stuff! I've found mufin tins, cake pans, pizza pans, cake molds, etc. That's what Baked in the Sun is for.

Make sure that the utensils that people will use on the non stick cookware is plastic. It won't stop people from using metal and scratching it, but if most of you spatulas, etc are plastic, you will have a better chance of them not getting ruined right away.

I love my Pampered Chef micro cooker. Work great for steaming veggies, making pasta, browning hamburger, etc.. One of my better "party" buys.

I've always wondered about these spinners as well. Is it for chopping the lettuce, draining, or tossing? Doesn't the centrifugal force just stick it all to the outside?

it is for drying. I think you can take the basket part out and also use it for tossing but not totally sure on that. I don't use one.
