Food ideas first birthday party

I'm struggling to get my head round a menu for my twin's first birthday party this weekend - mainly due to sleep deprivation!
It will be at home with 10 adults and 6 kids.

I'm thinking following:
Quiche
Cold meat platter
Olive / sundried Tom / mozzarella on sticks
Cheese board
Pasta salad
Warm potato salad
One other salad
Cold pizza
Crudités / dips
Cocktail sausages
Crisps
Jelly / ice cream
Fruit platter
Some other sweet option
Birthday cake

Does that sound like it's enough or too much? I always over-cater at these things and want to avoid!

Thank you xx

That sounds lovely and lots for the babies to pick at! What timings are the party? Will it run over lunch time?

I find I always end up with too much left over if there’s too much choice. It’s harder to judge quantities per person and which things will be popular. I’d keep it simple and easy by providing fewer things but more of it, if you get what I mean! For my DD’s christening I did jacket potatoes with a choice of three toppings.
