What kind of foods would you have at a childs 1st birthday, theme is luau?

Question

A child first birthday. Meaning his first birthday ever.

This will be in the winter. I have to have it indoors and my house is to small we have four sides of the family coming to his birthday party. So it will be at a room we rented but the room you have to have the food catered by there chefs.

I know its my sons first birthday party but that means nothing to me. I will have it video taped, and lots of pictures so he can look back on it and the family will get together because that doesn't happen to often that the entire family can get together.

Not that I have to explain myself. I wanted to do like chicken kabobs, and fruit kabobs. There will also be the oven pig thing deff. and I was thinking like sweet potato chips, and like a wild rice dish. DUH there will be a cake for everybody and then my son will have his own cake.
