Critique my b-day menu

I am typing by phone, so forgive the formatting. We are doing a cowgirl theme for the girls' 1st birthday. I'm thinking of doing something like this (just ideas, not necessarily all of these): pulled pork, chips and salsa, fruit, cactus juice (punch), baked beans, root beer, texas toast or biscuits, cole slaw, veggies and dip, pigs in a blanket appetizers, and some kind of cake of course. Also considering fried chicken, potato salad, and some kind of cobbler. What sounds good? Anything else? Anything you'd skip? We are serving approx 20 people.

We had around that many people. We did BBQ, Beans, Chips and had cupcakes and ice cream for dessert. I was planning on doing some other stuff too but didnt have time and it wound up having more than enough with just what we had. Everyone left stuffed and I still have several pounds of BBQ in my freezer... I would simplify unless you have picky eaters coming.

I know. I'm awful. I think I've been so worked up over this day approaching, so my best defense is to go nuts about it. I keep telling myself to keep it simple, and then I see something really cute and start all over again. Lol!!

Here's something get you going bananas again. I found this party blog on pinterest yesterday and it has a "cowgirl" theme on it. "The watering hole" idea is cute...where they have all the drinks set up. Keep it easy on you. Fried chicken would be a mess...but, yummy.
