Thanks everyone! I'll probably do fruit cups and other snacky stuff but this place orders the pizza for you so it's super easy for me! (And I'll update the invite so people know there will be pizza and cake.) :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835583 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 18:21:49 +0000 SweetiePie 2835583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pizza! I don’t think that’s too early for a toddler dinner at all. ESP after a bunch of running around. Today my almost 4yo had dinner at 4pm because he had camp 9-3 and was starving, he scarfed an entire burger. </p> <p>I’d do pizza and maybe a veggie and fruit tray or something.<br /> I would also include pizza for adults and maybe a small sandwich platter if you think your crowd would prefer, but honestly with kids parties I never expect more than pizza and I’m kinda glad to not have to think about one meal that day 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835573 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 17:22:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2835573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also do pizza. I feel like kids will always eat that, no matter the time. And have some snacks like popcorn and cut up fruit out (my friend recently did that and just had it out on the tables in cute cups and the kids actually ate something healthy!). </p> <p>But either way I think specifying in the invite is extremely helpful. Like to silly picky daughter won’t eat many sandwiches so knowing that’s what it was would be good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835560 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 16:11:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2835560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Exactly this! I'm sure there will be people that don't read or forget, but for me that's good enough to know.</p> <p>And of course, pizza is the fail safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835552 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:31:54 +0000 LBee 2835552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think either works, but I would specify on invitation what you plan to serve saying either: "snack and cake" or "pizza and cake." I wouldn't care either way ultimately, but like to know what to expect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835550 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:28:57 +0000 Sams Mom 2835550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with pizza or like a party sub cut into kid sized portions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835545 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:14:45 +0000 looch 2835545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be fine with whatever you served...I would make it easy on myself and do pizza, but I really like the mini sandwiches idea. That was done at a party we attended once and it was an absolute hit. The kids loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835542 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:10:51 +0000 erinbaderin 2835542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a party from 3-5, I would assume that there would be dinner food (probably either pizza or hot dogs) and plan my own life accordingly, so that’s what I vote for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835541 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:08:07 +0000 castilrm 2835541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d also do pizza. Cheap, easy, and most kids will eat it. Parents might also be happy that dinner is taken care of for the kids and if they are hungry later, then can just get a snack before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835539 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:04:09 +0000 JennyPenny 2835539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would do something like fruit and popcorn. Light, healthyish and the kids might still have room for dinner later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835537 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 15:00:35 +0000 MrsDynamiteGal 2835537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say go with pizza. It's a tireless favorite and quick meal. Plus inexpensive, depending on where you get it. </p> <p>Just my two cents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-party-food-1#post-2835535 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 14:47:31 +0000 psw27 2835535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Need some advice. My son is having his 4th birthday party at a bounce house place. The party is from 3-5. The center usually has the kids come into the party room for the last 30-40 minutes - so in this case around 4:20-4:30. What should I serve for food? Just snacks? I don't want to just do cake but also realize its too early for dinner. </p>
