Ideas for teen girl party food / dinner

I’m organising a sleepover for dd 15th birthday and want to do a good looking food spread on the dining table for all the girls to eat as dinner.
I’m rubbish at meal planning, party planning so if anyone can help with some food ideas I’d be grateful!
Not fussy eaters when they’ve been to mine in the past. Thank you!

Home made pizza, potato wedges and salad? Buy ready made pizza bases, then everyone can make their own. ? Mini doughnuts/brownies and ice cream dor pudding? Iceland do a really good dessert platter 😋❤️

We did a pizza and then a very nice looking sharing platter of strawberries, raspberries, pink sweets, chocolate, profiteroles etc and they loved it

Hi @3wheels
How about:
Pasta bar - a big bowl of pasta then sauce options eg tomato, creamy sauce, a bolognese and a pesto
Salads (leaves, chopped veg salad, grated carrot salad)
Garlic bread
Wedges or oven chips

You could also then have fruit platters (berries and grapes) with brownies for dessert!

I’ve never looked at Iceland’s dessert platters, thank you!

Do they like bubble tea.? You can buy kits on Amazon- might be too young for them but see what your DD thinks.

Love these ideas so far, thank you!

For dd1’s 16th dd2 made a 3 course french meal, goats cheese tarts, chicken in a sauce (lots of garlic and cheese) and mousse au chocolat. She was doing food tech! Went down really well, laid table with linen napkins and served the 2% Normandy cidre

DIY tacos with:
soft and hard shell tacos
pulled pork
pulled chicken
spicy taco beans
salsa
guacamole
sour cream
red peppers

Sushi, noodles and bubble tea would get my vote (DD 18 and would still adore this).

3wheels · 15/05/2025 20:53

Great ideas! Thanks all.

Non-alcoholic cocktail bar and grazing table went down well with my DD & pals at a similar age

Another vote for sushi, to keep costs down a bit you could get a load of gyoza (Itsu frozen ones are great) and make a couple noodle dishes, edamame, or serve breaded chicken with Katsu sauce.

My DD had a dinner party and sleepover for about 12 friends when she was 13. All the good china, glassware, napkins etc and a trug full of ice and Shloer. I can’t remember what I cooked exactly but they loved the whole ‘adult’ set up of it all.
