S/o parties - party food

[babywinks]

For anyone doing a party at home or you are providing food, what's on the menu? Trying to decide what we should make.

Tommy asked for pizza. So pizza, wings, salad or veggie tray and some sides.
Dessert is cake and fruit.
Soda, juice, water and beer.

Just to get your mind going. Josie's baptism is the first week in August. We are doing a variety of wraps, potato and pasta salad and veggie tray. Some cheese and crackers for apps.
Then again cake and fruit for dessert.

Veggie "straws" bales
Carrots (for the pony lovers)
Cupcakes (pink and purple)
Lemonade
Hay Bales (rice crispie bars)

Afternoon pony party and I'm determined not to kill myself this year.

Hot dogs, chips, cake. Done.

Elise's was from 2-3:30 so I just had cupcakes and Capri suns lol

But in the past we have just cooked out and done burgers, hot dogs, baked beans, and a pasta either salad or macaroni. And a veggie tray and fruit salad.

I'm going to get pre made mini sandwiches from the deli, chips, fruit, jello jigglers (goes with the theme), fruit and veggie tray, Rice Krispie treats, and cake. Drinks will be soda, water and juice.

I'm having my family restraunt cater again this year. We're getting sandwiches (roast beef & turkey), fruit tray, veggie tray, meatballs and macaroni & cheese. Then also cake. Will have water, beer & juice boxes.

We are doing "finger food" and its all farm themed:

chex mix (Chicken Feed)
white cheddar popcorn (Sheep Fluff)
pretzel sticks (Hay)
chocolate donuts (Tractor Tires)
veggies and dip (Fresh Produce)
berries
apple sauce pouches (apple orchard)
peeps (Baby chicks - I stocked up after Easter)
pigs in blankets
sliders (Cow Patties)
Cupcakes and ice cream

Ours is at 2:00 so just a few munchies...... Fruit tray, veggie tray, cheese and crackers, some sort of chips and a dip, and of course cake and ice cream. Then grownups will have beer and maybe a big batch of sangria or something.

Somehow our party went from a few friends and family to 60 people coming so we are doing a cookout. Burgers, hot dogs, potatoe salad, pasta salad, fruit salad, baked beans. Veggie tray, bean dip, and several kinds of chips / popcorn / pretzels for appetizers. I got soda water beer and wine for drinks. Cake and cupcakes for dessert. I also got freezer pops because it's outdoors and it's going to be 90 this Sunday when we have it.

Good call on the freezer pops. I will add that to our menu as I'm sure it will be hot here for her bday.

We aren't having the party at home and our birthday package includes pizza and freezes but we wanted to add to that. We are going to bring a veggie tray and some fruit and a cake. We might bring some chips too.

[sarahandeddie]

Freezer sticks are a great idea, especially since we are having a Frozen themed party. We aren't having Averys party until mid August though.

[jennmm]

We just had cake. We had ours at a water park that had concessions and H told everyone just to tell them to put it on our bill if they wanted anything but I think the most anyone got was snow cones. It was sort of after lunch time so I think pretty much everyone ate before they came.

[bantyrooster]

Pizza, Chic fil a nuggets, fruit, salad, queso dip and chips, cake, drinks (we do booze since its an evening party).

We do booze because it's a kids party!

I've never heard the term freezer sticks, freezes or freezer pops. I assume its like the koolaidish popsicles? I've always heard them called popsicles

Freezer sticks are the Popsicles that are in the little plastic tube.

So funny so many words for the same thing

[starfishy]

I call those freeze pops. As in "please return that foul ball to the concession stand for a free freeze pop"

[mommymadness]

We just call them freezes here!

[sarahandeddie]

It's crazy how the American version of English varies so much by region.

[MissMusic]

Pizza, cake, veg and fruit platters.
Its a safari theme so we will probably have those pre-packaged "zebra cakes" or some such thing.

I'm just not into it this year. ugh.
