My step sister throws parties every couple of months, and they are always potluck, but they also always have a theme of sorts. It's easier to bring food if everyone knows the party theme is Chinese New Year (her last party), or a Mexican fiesta, or whatnot.
I don't entertain, so I don't have any original ideas. If we're attending a party and there are no prior food requests, we just bring beer, a bottle of wine, or booze and fixings to make cocktails with (my hubby is frequently requested to play bartender). This seems to go over well.
