I am not a fan of having to build my own lunch standing in a buffet line because I feel rushed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-658526 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:56:44 +0000 daniellemybelle 658526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for option one, but I agree with others who say to do a mix. I would do simple, more substantial sandwiches, like chicken salad on croissants. I wouldn't do the typical tiny tea sandwiches. But then I would choose tarts, mini quiches, scones, etc. as the sides... and I would buy them as much as you can so you don't have to do tons of work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-658519 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:54:50 +0000 Running Elley 658519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love option 1! It sounds like such a fun birthday party! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-658507 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:51:20 +0000 DigAPony 658507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do the deli sandwiches. As a guest that's what I'd like to eat, and it would be simpler for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-658421 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:18:57 +0000 sera_87 658421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say a mix - the sandwiches from #2 but sides from #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-658417 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:17:22 +0000 MrsH 658417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a mix? Deli sandwiches with scones and tarts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-658328 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:53:49 +0000 wheres_c 658328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted #1 </p> <p>Some tuna sandwiches, egg and cress sandwiches, cheese and cucumber sandwiches, sausage rolls, quiche, salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657748 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:42:28 +0000 plantains 657748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Option one, tea food for sure. You could also have some savoury tarts in the mix and cornish pasties, pies, sausage rolls, scotch eggs etc to make it filling enough for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657730 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:37:59 +0000 runsyellowlites 657730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Habesbabe. Tea food always seems more like a snack, even if I eat tons. I would do the deli sandwiches with sides &amp; dessert.... I think if done right they can still look/feel really nice for your theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657631 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:16:58 +0000 HabesBabe 657631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tea food isn't filling enough for me, and it's a LOT of work! I made tea sandwiches for my BFF's bridal shower, and although everything looked super cute, people were still hungry and it took a lot of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657549 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:02:02 +0000 blackbird 657549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the first option and I'm voting that you buy scones, tarts, etc :) Tea sandwiches aren't that much work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657499 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:42:43 +0000 MrsSCB 657499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote tea food if you have the energy, but don't overdo it if you don't feel like it :-) I'm sure people would enjoy the sandwiches too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657495 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:41:35 +0000 pui 657495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Option one is definitely nicer, but if you are doing a lot of DIY already, just do the sandwiches so that you can enjoy the party too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657448 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:26:05 +0000 loveisstrange 657448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Added a poll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657399 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:16:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 657399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also vote for option 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657385 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:14:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 657385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the first option, especially since it fits so well with your theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-afternoon-birthday#post-657373 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:13:32 +0000 loveisstrange 657373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to decide what to serve at C's 1st birthday. We're doing a vintage-y, burlap and lace kind of theme and her party is at 1pm.</p> <p>Option 1:<br /> Do english tea food (with a twist), tea sandwiches, tarts, cakes, savory scones, etc. Fits the theme, more work for me.</p> <p>Option 2:<br /> Set up DIY deli sandwiches and then serve regular sides and dessert. Easier but more ordinary.</p> <p>Opinions? Her party is in 2 weeks, so I need to decide what I;m doing. With the time frame of the event, I need to serve something substantial enough to be considered lunch. </p>
