Okay Ladies, 

I know this question has been asked a lot but I would like some opinions on my meal choices as DH and I can't decide. Sorry I don't know how to make a poll:)

DD bday is on a Sunday from 11am until 2pm.

1-Selection of lunch meats and cheeses, buns/croissants, veggie tray, fruit tray, salad, munchies

2-BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs, veggie tray, fruit tray, pasta salad, green salad

3-Taco Bar:chicken and beef, hard/soft shells, veggies for toppings, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, mexi fries, green salad, fruit tray, chips

Thank you ladies!

    Are you preparing everything yourself? If so I always go for the easiest and that sounds like number 1.  

    Think we are planning DS birthday party for 3:30-5, it's when I know he'll definitely be up from naps but also I feel at the time I can get away with just serving snack type foods. Easy and less expensive for me.

    I agree with selection 1. My DD  1st birthday is next month, and we are doing something similar...cooking a ham and slicing for ham sandwiches (easy to keep in a nesco), chips, dip, fruit/veggie tray, and then crock lot Mac n cheese for kiddos.

    I vote the taco bar.  If I'm at a party with lunch meats I always skip that part of the meal.  Just not a fan.  Any way you go though I'm sure people will be happy and appreciate it.

    This. The cheese and lunch meat always seem dried out, and I could be wrong. But I still avoid it anyway. Taco bar sounds amazing!

    Selection 2.  Most people will find something they like to eat and it won't be too much work for you.  Plus that type of food is "kid friendly" too so any kids that come (and your own) can just eat what's there!  We are doing a hot dog bar so the kids can go plain if they want and then adults can get more creative, mac and cheese, salad and snacks.  Have fun!  :)
