[PinkChick]

[wurlywurly]

sounds good too me

wheres to party ring??

[wurlywurly]

*the

[PinkChick]

wheres to what?

[cardy]

pizza?
fruit platter - grapes, melon, strawberrys, pinapple?

Personally I wouldn't bother with the yogart, it could get a bit messy.

How old are the children?

[PinkChick]

ahh!..not telling, you'll all judge me for my non organic cocktail sausges

[PinkChick]

ah, pizza..good idea!..hmm, little clices or those mini round ones?..but will they be ok cold??
well children are from 16 month - 7 years, most around 3-4 yrs tho, but i know what you mean, had yogs at dd's first birthday!..very messy, wipes all round

[wurlywurly]

yummy cold pizza

[PinkChick]

hmm, well i would, but i thought i was minging!

[cardy]

get two big ones and cut them into small slices (16). It's always useful to hand round to the grown-ups to (if there are any).

[PinkChick]

hmm, might buy 3 giant fresh ones from morrisons, some for adults some for kids?...what about garlic bread?..thats a bit 'like it or dont like it' tho isnt it?

[cardy]

IME - they do like garlic bread plus most adults do.

[Lullabyloo]

fruit platter..melon,grapes,strawberries etc
houmus & crudites & breadsticks
mini cheeses
brownies
pasta salad or pesto pasta

[tassis]

sounds pretty similar to what i'm planning to do on saturday (though not bothering with yogs)

i plan to put all the savoury stuff out first and then fruit platters with (optional) chocolate sauce

[PinkChick]

well am puttin most on one platefor each child (dd went mad for bratz theme), but obv fresh fruit etc will be on other plates..and is garlic bread ok cook??..might get the circular ones and slice then plates look full!

[roberta3]

Am doing lunchboxes for DS's 7th party so have got kids to fill in slips with what kind of sandwich they would like. Very few takers for cheese or ham - most seem to want jam!

[PinkChick]

LOL, i was thinking of jam.hmm..jam or cheese????..was going to do the lucnh box, but couldnt get the theme dd wanted so got plates and a ton of clingfilm

[ViscountessPetitLapin]

mozzarella pearls (Tesco) and cherry toms onna stick, v popular!

[Lullabyloo]

nice big basket of bread
plate of cheese
pots of jams

HUGE MESS.......et Voila!!!!

[PinkChick]

sticks will be used by most to prod each other on any visable bit of flesh!..i know these children too well!

[PinkChick]

think i might do the jam instead of cheese and cube some cheese on plates..watch out ill get my spiky hedgehog out next and shove the pineapples on with it!

[Lullabyloo]

cheese & pineapple hedgehogs are very 'in' & retro

[Blu]

I would ditch the yogs and boxes of raisins - there is loads of food there.

[PinkChick]

so..
pizza slices
garlic slices
two triangle sandwiches( ham and Jam now)
mini sausages
cubed chedder
crisps
grapes
jaffa cake
crispy cake..........
enough?????

[RTKangaMummy]
