IME, a potluck is where everyone contributes something, but they
have absolutely free choice what they make or bring and how much of it.
" X, will you please bring 25 pieces of fingerfood" is a lot more
organised than a potluck.

There's the implication in the OP that a smaller subset of people
are organising to provide the food for a larger number at the reception.
