2nd Birthday party food - is this enough?

So my dc's 2nd Birthday party is next week and I have about 30 adults coming and probably 20 under 3's.
I've ordered 30 sandwich quarters, 20 mini wraps, 24 mini fruit tartlets and have a cake suitable for 40 servings.
Also thinking some packs of grapes, breadsticks , humous , maybe a baguette or two - any other ideas ?!

If you really want to avoid junk, cheese cubes, breadsticks, cold pizza fingers (home made- wholemeal base, tomato sauce, cheese if your worried about pizza being junk) are probably your safest bet for a party.

I wouldn't order any more sandwiches, I never find that they get eaten. Lots of cucumber and carrot sticks, a fruit platter, strawberries and melon go down well, bread sticks,cold chicken dippers, mini sausages, French stick slices, bowls of wotsits and popcorn. I don't usually cater for adults at a toddlers birthday party, but do enough that there will be leftovers for them to eat if they want to.

what about mini cheddars instead of biscuits.
recently went to one with the tastiest easiest served were sheets of the ready roled pastry they then bung lots of topping from veggies to cheese,salmi ham,egg,pesto etc and baked them like pastry pizza sheets. cut into squares they went down an absolute treet.
fruit platter with strawberrys.melon.mangos.grapes.kiwi fruit,apples.ornage segments
id give them some treat food. cadburys fingers at a kids party are a must aren't they!

Had more than enough food without all the cupcakes as I didn't actually go through with the order in the end.
Popcorn was a real hit! As was veg crisps!
Loads of fruit too, proves that you don't need piles of sweets and biscuits to make a decent party , nor juice!
