Simple, easy, and liked by practically everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2009487 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 22:44:30 +0000 irene 2009487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. I was just thinking of only pizza and cupcakes for our upcoming party. And drinks. Hahahaha. Thank you so much for this post now I will think about a veggie and fruit platter. And garlic knots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2004361 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:41:27 +0000 psw27 2004361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the veggies (if you decided to do them) you could do those cups they always have on pinterest -- where the ranch is already in the bottom and then you just stick the veggie sticks in the cup... no dipping and scooping, and so cute. like this:</p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/126452702011241215/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/126452702011241215/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2004333 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:22:31 +0000 MamaCate 2004333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did pizza and cake for LO's 3rd birthday. We did add a veggie tray and fruit tray from the grocery store, nothing fancy, but everyone seemed happy. Just relax and enjoy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2004328 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:20:42 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2004328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All we are doing for lo's 2nd bday is chips, veggies, dip, and cupcakes! I think your plan is totally fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2004327 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:20:28 +0000 Ginabean3 2004327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's perfect!

I added a veggie tray, fruit plate and apple sauce pouches for the kids. All easy stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2004194 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 13:04:10 +0000 ladybee 2004194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think pizza is great! I'd also do a salad, fruit, and veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2004166 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:43:09 +0000 Synchronicity 2004166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just add a couple of simple things. Chips, a garden salad and maybe a veggie and/or fruit tray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2004161 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:40:57 +0000 HabesBabe 2004161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get everything through Costco and call it a day :) Veggie tray, fruit platter, pizza, and cake &amp; ice cream. Done and done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003879 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 10:38:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2003879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even better than salad would be a simple veggie tray (no plates/forks needed). I love to just have celery, carrots and tomatoes (or cucumbers) sitting out with a small bowl of dip. you can buy those all cut up too and just set on a platter! Its also nice for people to much on while waiting for pizza and gives a healthy options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003848 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 10:21:44 +0000 photojane 2003848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as there's cake, I'm there. ;) Pizza and cake gets my thumbs up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003840 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 10:18:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2003840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's totally fine! I would probably add a veggie tray (like store bought with the ranch dip in the middle) and maybe chips or pretzels, but keep it easy on yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003805 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 09:56:17 +0000 Reese 2003805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would add a veggie tray - super simple and something green. Salad works too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003788 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 09:47:23 +0000 dagret 2003788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing the same for L's birthday but will probably add some cut up veggies or fruit, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003786 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 09:47:10 +0000 LuLu Mom 2003786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: I think pizza and ice cream is great.

Also a salad for people that don't want pizza. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003771 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 09:42:35 +0000 autumnlove 2003771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do some snacks like fruit, veggies, chips or pretzels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003770 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 09:42:35 +0000 ShootingStar 2003770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you add some wings and maybe garlic knots? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-party-menu-is-this-too-simple#post-2003764 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 09:40:02 +0000 ValentineMommy 2003764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is turning 2 in Feb and we're just deciding to have a party. We went all out for the first birthday, but now that I'm pregnant, I just don't have the energy for an elaborate party this time around.</p> <p>So, we're just doing immediate family. It'll be around 15 adults and 6 kids.</p> <p>Would it be super lame to just have pizza then cake and ice cream? Do I need to go all out with appetizers and a real meal? </p>
