7 year old birthday party menu - sound ok??

[MamaG]

OK, so its not exactly home made couscous and wholemeal pitta, but I wanted to do something they will actually eat!

Ham sandwiches
Egg mayo sandwiches
cubes of cheese
crisps
little cooked sausages
balls of honeydew & watermelon (hurrah I get to use friend's melon baller!!) mixed up in a bowl
bowls of green & red grapes mixed up

Birthday cake
mini fruit muffins
mars bar crispie
party ring biscuits

There is absolutely no point in putting out cucumber/carrot sticks as the little blighters will just leave them - as seen at every other party this year!

Hope it sounds OK I'm usually a real cheat and just pay for everyone to got a fun factory

that sounds good to me. and if my dd was coming she'd be fine as no nasty colourings in amonst that lot by the sounds of it.

Oh good - yes, I didnt want loads of horrible processed food - all the cakey things will be home made too so its not too bad is it!!

DD wanted coke and lemonade and fruitshoots- my response hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no.

Most gets left anyway. How about garlic bread. Was at a party last week where the host had made ham & jam sandwiches(not together!) and couldn't believe how many children said they didn't eat ham or jam-FGS!

the melon wil be used as ammo

Really? I thought every child ate jam!

lol at ammo!

Thats the reason why the sausage & cheese aren't on sticks.

If I've got a leftover sausage, do you wanna drive to Cumbria for it ?

lol
my mum rand me this mornign to tellme abotu her razor

"its really good"
" ah great mum whats it claled?"

"ah well its............ made in china"
"so you dont knwo the brand name then?"

"no"

"oh ok then
bye"

another mum classic eh?

any more opinions?

id nto do sarnies tbh
id do cold pizza

sausage rolls

bugger. just bought a ton of ham. Could do both maybe

Did a joint party with a friend a couple of years ago, I suggested ham sandwhiches and cheese ones, she insisted we do jam too (I made all food) not one child ate the jam ones.

Sounds like good party food to me. What time do you want us? Save me a party ring! My kids love jam too!

ounds good to me, my dd nearly 7 would have a good chomp at almost all of that

Great thanks

pretty much what we did for a bunch of 5 year olds at the weekend - but had cheese and ham (separate ) rolls, a bowl of strawberries (no melon ) - and we did the carrot sticks and cucumber - and they did go. The sausages went amazingly quickly too. The rolls were the things we had most left over of.

Both of mine love to eat ham on its own so maybe just roll some of the ham up as well as putting some on sandwiches.

I wonder if I'm being a ponce by balling the melon

do your kids eat melon balls ? If so - then do them - but not too many unless you are happy to scoff them later.

well they eat melon....I just thought they'd look pretty in balls!

As the grapes are round too - green & purple balls in one bowl, yellow & red in another...

depends if you've got time I suppose, don't see why not.

Oooh, I haven't had a jam sandwich for years.

you just know I'll ball about 3 and go "sod it"
