  • I know I could eat enough to make a meal, but it sounds more like a cocktail party instead of a party over lunchtime.  I'd probably substitute the meatballs and weenies for more of a sandwich or wrap. 

    I also don't know that you need that many desserts.  Most kid bday parties I go to have cake and ice cream.

  • I think its missing the main part....like wraps, lunch meat platter, pulled pork, something along those lines.  I know it says weenies...does that mean hot dogs w/ buns?  Is so then I'd say you are good.  Ot if you have rolls for meatball subs or something.

    We had hot apple cider at my daugther's 1st birthday party...huge hit.  Cupcakes were also a huge hit...much better than just regular cake which rarely gets eaten.

  • I don't see any sort of side dish really.  How about mac&cheese or baked beans?
  • Ditto 6fsn.  I think that you could scrap all of the desserts except for the cupcakes (and smash cake) and get a deli tray and some sauteed vegetables for any vegetarians.  A couple of sides and a cheese/vegetable/fruit tray and you're set.

    This.  You need to add sides and subtract meats and desserts.

  • i think it sounds good! you've got food, fruit, veggies, and dessert Yes
  • and i love the theme by the way!
  • Maybe what you can do is put out a platter of coldcuts and cheese and bread and then let people make their own sandwiches. Then if people want to use the meatballs for that they can serve double duty and you won't have to go too crazy with cooking.

    Otherwise you can make a pasta dish (like baked ziti or lasagna) and a quiche and that will be easy.
