Help with Party Menu?

Jessica&Brett

We're having about 25 to 30 people (mostly family, and only 4 kids including DS) over for DS's birthday next Sunday at 1.

So far I'm thinking:

• Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
• Pasta Salad
• Hot Caprese Dip
• Yuppies in a blanket (like pigs in a blanket, only with artichoke hearts and feta)
• Circus Cookies (the frosted animal crackers that i posted about)
• Birthday Cake

 

What else?  I feel like I need more...

I think that sounds good.  All we had was pizza and a veggie tray (plus cake and cupcakes).

I think that sounds like a perfect number of options. I always find it's better to increase the quantity of the itmes you already have than to increase the number of items (less work for you!). BTW, that's the same buffalo chicken recipe I used for the sandwiches for last night.

That is similar to what I had for DD's party. I think the only things I added were cheese and crackers and a veggie tray.  I agree though with having more of a few really good items and tons of little things.  And now I'm hungry.

I buffalo chicken (especially that yum recipe), and I think that menu sounds DIVINE!  However, the only suggestion I have is to, perhaps, consider that not everyone may appreciate the heat that the buff chicken brings.  KWIM?  I tend to overthink things, though.  For instance, we served pulled pork for J's 1st birthday, but I also put together about a dozen chicken salad sandwiches because pulled pork isn't everyone's (including my) cup of tea.

BTW - I'm drooling over the idea of yuppies in a blanket.

Thanks TTT - I think I'll make some turkey and cheese sammies too

I can't WAIT to eat the yuppies in a blanket... YUM!
