Critique my birthday menu

Howell's birthday menu: 

Appetizers/snacks: 
Chips, fruit skewers with cheesecake dip in buckets topped with graham cracker crumbs to look like sand, cheese and crackers, veggie tray, maybe cherry tomatoes stuffed with goat cheese.

Lunch: Hamburgers, hotdogs and turkey brats (only if this one person comes who doesn't eat red meat), grilled corn on the cob, quinoa tabbouleh (my parents want to bring pasta salad. Necessary?) 

Dessert: Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and banana cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

We will have about 25 people.

    I think it sounds great!  I don't think you need pasta salad, but I know some people HAVE to have it at get togethers.  My family is like that with potato salad.  I would maybe do a meat appetizer, maybe a summer sausage with the cheese tray.

    Sounds good to me.

    We're having chips, hot dogs, hamburgers, watermelon, popcorn (centerpieces), soda, water, and beer. Oh, and cake from somewhere. 

    Going simple on the food and getting a photographer and the Kona Ice truck.

    Dear, sweet, baby Jesus, please don't let it rain.

    Sounds perfect! I'd have the pasta salad there as an option for those people who don't eat the quinoa. It doesn't hurt to have extra!

    Yeah, I'll add the pasta salad. It's at a state park and we will have to use coolers for refrigeration. I'm trying to avoid poisoning everybody with mayonnaise so I don't want to do potato salad. I do have this one I do with chimichuri that's like crack but it may be too challenging for some, like tabbouleh. Although everyone invited is pretty adventurous.

    That sounds great. The only other thing that I would possibly add is pb&j sandwiches cut up for the picky eaters. I know if sounds silly, but it was a hit at this other party I went to.

    That's an absolute no-no because my niece is highly allergic.

    You successfully made me really hungry so I'd say it's a hit.
