Who likes to plan BDay party menus? :)

We are having a party for the boys and DD since their Bdays are only 3 days apart and famiyl is coming from far away.  We are having a luau party.  It is at 3:00 (weird time i know, but i planned it around the boys schedules) The party is mostly famiyl and a few friends, only about 8 kids all under 4 which includes mine. I was doing heavy hordourves.  I am not sure if this is enough food/variety,

Here is what i have so far: Mini teriyaki chicken kabobs, bbq pork, Hawaiian rolls, fruit salad, flower shaped pb&j for kids and cake.

How does this sound? Any other ideas?  I am not the best at party planning.

    That sounds great to me!  When I did catered events that were cocktail/hors d'ouvres parties at our near dinner time, we planned on about 12 appetizers per person, now with the bbq pork sandwiches, I would think that 6-8 per person would be appropriate.

    I love this stuff. I think your menu sounds great. 

    Coconut shrimp is also a hit with that type of theme although I'm not a fan myself. 

    What are you doing for drinks?  A punch of some kind with pineapple would work well with the rest of your menu.

    Sounds great but it seems like you may be missing a veggie...sweet potatoes are Hawaiian so maybe you can find a recipe that uses them. A pineapple would be fun to decorate with -- and be sure to include that in your fruit salad. :-)

     I picked up hawaiian leis at a dollar store one time for a party and it made every photo of the event fantastic -- so much color and so festive. Hope it's fun!

    I, too, was thinking a veggie might be good to add to the mix.  As for punch....someone mentioned a pineapple based punch.  My favorite is:  sherbet (flavor/color of your choice) sprite and pineapple juice.  1 large can of juice, 1 2-liter of sprite and 1 container of sherbet for a large bowl of the best punch ever!
