16th Birthday Party for daughter?

Question

She invited about 25 friends. Doesn't want "real food" like pizza or sandwiches, because her friends won't eat that kind of stuff in front of others (wierd?) Anyway, we are ordering vege, cheese and appetizer trays. Any ideas about how many we should order and what types?

Answer 1

I would say the best idea would be to ask her, most 16 year olds don't even want their parents around at that age, but obviously you will have to do some sort of supervising in case anything gets out of hand. At my 16th, I had several bags of chips, various flavours, dip, a couple of cases of pop, different flavours, 3 or 4 different veggie , cheese and meat trays, and then a couple of movies, stuff like that. Ask her for her input, get her to ask her friends what kind of pop or juice they like (in case anyone is diabetic, grab at least one case of diet) and what kind of chips and dip. Popcorn is usually a good idea too if any movies are planned.

Answer 2

the best food trays for party's are the kinds with meat, crackers, and cheese.  They are really good and actually kind of filling after a few pieces.

Answer 3

Try fruit trays from Costco and yogurt dip.  It was a huge hit with all my friends because all of them were on diets when i turned 16.
