Answer 3

"Mini Food

Instead of preparing large portions of food, how about choosing heat and eat mini dishes such as mini corn dogs, pizza bagel bites, chicken tenders, and other kid-friendly choices? Adults and kids alike will enjoy these ideas, and they're ready to eat in no time. This will give you more time to mingle with guests and enjoy your baby's 1st birthday party without having to knock yourself out preparing food.

Taco Bar

A taco bar is one of the best food ideas for a 1st birthday party since guests can help themselves to toppings they prefer, and most people love tacos. Set out containers of toppings, and have guests serve themselves. Meat can be kept warm in a crock pot, and shells can be kept warm in the oven. This is one of the easiest 1st birthday party food ideas you'll find!

Pizza!

People of all ages usually love pizza, and if you're looking for easy meal ideas for a 1st birthday party, let your fingers do the walking and order out. If restaurant food will put the party over budget, bake high-quality frozen pizzas, and add extra toppings if necessary. You don't have to go to a lot of trouble to feed party guests. Some of the easiest ideas are also some of the best.

Barbeque Sandwiches

One of the easiest and most popular food ideas for a 1st birthday party or any party is barbeque sandwiches. The meat and sauce mixture can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a crock pot. Serve this popular food choice with chips of various kinds, dip, fresh veggies, and cold salads. You'll be able to concentrate on fun activities with guests and your baby rather than spending hours in the kitchen."

Answer 4

Sounds perfect:) ... My daughter has 3 kids (under 4-1/2) and pizza is usually served at all the birthday parties she goes to (and it seems like at least 1 each weekend:)  plain cheese for the kids; and some other toppings for the adults...  Suggestion: lemonade is a good drink, because it won't stain if it's spilled......  Have a separate small cake for the birthday boy/girl and be sure to take lots of pictures!

Answer 5

pizza and a batch or two of pasta salad would probably be good with some juice!
