Kids party - what have I forgotten to get?

I just realised I'd totally forgotten table cloths and birthday candles! Got a nagging feeling I've forgotten something else - can you spot it?

Have got:

Venue (they do everything except food)

Cardboard lunch boxes containing:

  • half sandwich
  • crisps
  • chocolate & sweets
  • raisins


On table (they will be sat in front of healthy food for a few minutes before gak arrives!)
  • veggies & fruit
  • pop corn


Plates (not sure if we really need them)
3 large bowls (for pop corn)
various plates for veggies & fruit
Cups
Decorations
Squash
Party bag stuff
2 x cakes

Jugs! Forgot jugs for squash, we had some plastic ones but they seem to have got lost. And still need party bags.

I really wish I was doing this with enough time for Amazon Prime! (Will be trip to shop in the morning).

Hmm. What else have I missed?

Do the venue provide napkins? You’ll need more than you think, for the mess, and the cake!

Napkins!!! Thank you :) We need them for the cake too.

Knife, got but mustn't forget, thanks.

DP should have lighter as he smokes even though swore he'd give up when the baby came
