Kids party food - boxes?

Hello - need to do party food for 30 kids at my sons's 5th birthday next weekend.

I'm 7 months pregnant with twins, so need to keep it as easy as possible!

I can't decide whether it would be better to do individual food boxes or not? Had food on the table at his party last year and there was tons of wastage.

Was thinking of just putting ham or cheese sandwich, some cocktail sausages, packet of crisps, choc biscuit in the boxes and the some fruit / crudités plates on the table.

Please help me decide! I'm being a hormonal, pregnant ditherer about the whole thing.

Definitely go for boxes. Less wasteful and easier to do some prep in advance.

Through I a little bottle if water or juice box and you're sorted.

I did it all in boxes down to a little bag of crudités in each box. Pretty much everything got eaten.

Ah, amazing, thank you both.

Ok - sticking to this plan now!
