Food and drink advice for 1st birthday party

[jumpyjan]

Want to keep it reasonably cheap and fuss free - but nice.

Between 10-15 people so small family/close friends do and mostly adults.

I was thinking of doing a few little bowls of things like rice cakes, little sandwhiches for the babies and other stuff for the grown ups - but what?

Also do you have wine at this sort of do?

i'd do wine, soft drinks, cheeseboard and nice dips/crips/veg to dip and cakes for adults

wee ones I'd do sausages, boxes of raisins and stuff like rice cakes/organix snacks

then bowls of strawberries, melon, blueberries

i'd put it all out on a table and let people help themselves

sounds lovely!

That sounds good.

Tbh the babies prop won't eat much as the party is just after lunch and they will prob be too busy playing so will just do a few bits for them - the fruit bowls sound good.

I never know how much food to do for these sorts of things - am determined not to go to ott and end up chucking stuff away!
