So, party at weekend - what food should I pput in the food boxes?

[Hulababy]

I have to get this sorted and bought this week, for use on Saturday. Following on from some of the recent party threads I am a bit scared, lol

So, we are having food boxes and a picnic tea - sat on floor on picnic blankets. Party is between 3:30 and 5:30, so will be eating around 4:30pm I guess.

Most children are aged 4-5 years, with a couple younger ones.

I have already asked for sandwich choice (ham, cheese or jam) and a drink choice (apple, orange or water) and for any allergies. I know one little one has a dairy allergy, but that is sorted already as his mum is staying with us at the weekend anyway and will have brought substitutes) and one other little one can't have chocolate. All the older ones have stated no allergies or food issues.

Will do the sandwich probably on a little roll. And the drink will be a carton (water a mini bottle). All has to fit in the food box.

They will take a cup cake (DD's birthday cake) home with them in party bag.

So, what do you think I should put in the food boxes? Want to get a good list sorted before I go shopping!

where did you get the boxes from? Can you link to a picture so I can see what you are talking about. It sounds like a good idea for DD's b\day in the summertime.

I ordered from Party Pieces: here . I also used them last year. Delivery is pretty fast and the service is great. Prices are very competitive too. We have the yellow castles for girls, pirate chests for the boys and farm animal ones for the little ones.

I never knew those kinda things existed. Thanks for the link. They are a great idea.

we had the same party boxes ( castles and pirates!) for dds birthday last year - would second the use of boxes for all the reasons that hulababy has already said. have a fab party!

They were a big success at last year's party. Hence using them again!

Thanks hana!
