Yes, but I think I would make up a few small sandwiches (bread cut into 1/4), maybe some cheese and some jam. Hope it goes well!

Maybe add a few sandwiches, other than that. Yum!

Would pizza slices be an option? Sandwiches often get left untouched.

Party rings. It isn’t a party without them.

Or pizza,

Cheese and tomato. The veggies don't have much besides sweet stuff so rather than doing a range if sandwiches some cold pizza could work?

I'd ditch the yogurt, too messy.

If you have cubed cheese then you have to have cubed pineapple.
Ideally on a cocktail stick and artfully stabbed into a foil wrapped potato/orange.

Mini sausages and sandwiches! If the kids don't eat them the parents will.

Pizza better than sandwiches

I wouldn't bother with yoghurts or mini cupcakes, but would add party rings, sandwiches and quavers.

And cocktail sausages, or chicken nuggets.

Agree with not doing yogurt - it could be messy plus you have the whole flavour / bits vs no bits etc issue - how about doing jelly instead? You can buy a powder mix now for one now that has glittery bits in it and/or you could do a multi-layer one
