Birthday Party Thoughts?

jason&robin

So, A's 3rd bday is coming up and we are having a small party in our backyard. There will be about 25 people there(adults and kids). This is what I plan on serving. Will it be enough? Is there something I should add or remove?

BBQ Pork sliders

Crockpot mac n cheese

fruit and veggie trays with dip

chips

 

For dessert, I am making 2 jello cakes. One pineapple and one strawberry.

For drinks, I am going to have beer, a few soda, a pineapple punch and cherry limeaides.

That sounds delicious. Can I come?

Sounds good, but maybe add a drink like iced tea that isn't sweet.

Sounds yummy! I might add a dessert that isn't jello in case some people don't like jello, like cookies or a sheet cake.

Jello cake is actually cake, it just has jello in it and it makes it really moist. It's really good! Thanks for the ideas.

In that case it sounds perfect! (And now I'm off to google jello cake!)

I think that is perfect.  I always try to do more and end up with a ton of leftovers so I think what you are offering is perfect.

Love Jello and Pudding poke cakes! So yummy. Your menu sounds great!

I agree a pitcher of water or iced tea for a non sweet drink and it sounds perfect. Now I need to find this amazing cake you speak of...

I made one with pineapple jello and mixed crushed pineapple in the cool whip. Very tasty!

Wow - that pineapple cake looks amazing! I think your menu is great for that many people. One thing - I went to a Luau yesterday and with the heat, people went through 3x as much water as anything else.

I am dropping one of the punch drinks for unsweet iced tea and will have a huge thing of water.

I appreciate all the ideas!
