What to serve at 2 yr old b-day?

jkgbride

I am having a small b-day party for my dd on Saturday at 4pm.  No children will be there just grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. I am expecting between 15-20 people.

Here is what I am thinking about serving....sandwich tray, chick fil a nugget tray, velveta/rotel dip, spinach dip, bbq party meatballs and cake/ice cream.

I think I need more "finger foods" and was thinking of doing deviled eggs or those tortilla-salsa pinwheel thingys but then thought maybe I needed a veggie/fruit tray.  What do you think..any other ideas?  How does the rest of the menu look?  Also, I am 8.5 months pg so the easier the better!

TIA.

That sounds like plenty of food! You could do some fruit or a pasta salad if you think you need more. LOL, if I were that pg I would just order pizzas. That is actually what we are doing for DS's party next weekend.

I think a fruit or veggie tray would be great.  It would be light and super simple.

that all sounds perfect and yes fruit is always nice, just curious, how come no kids will be there?

Your ideas sound great so far!  We went the super-easy route and got take-and-bake pizzas from Costco, which were really good and only took 10 minutes in the oven, so we could buy a bunch and only bake as many as we needed (we ended up with 2 pizzas left over).  We also got a Stouffer's frozen lasagna, which was party-sized and served a ton.  It all tasted pretty good for frozen food, and was way easier than cooking for 30+ people ourselves!

I know it sounds awful that no children (her age) are invited!  But, I did invite the 3 little girls from the neighborhood but they are all 8-10 yrs old!

The truth is that I just physically cannot do a party with children and their parents right now (gosh, as i type it i feel worse!).

I'd definitely add a veggie and/or fruit tray. Everything you have sounds great, but it's all heavy hors doevres (meats, cheeses) so I think the addition of fruit or veggies would be great!
