Since you have a veggie platter I don't think you need a salad and a veggie platter is easier to eat off of vs a salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832299 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 20:06:15 +0000 808love 2832299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fruit<br /> oops u said fruit salad. yes looks good as is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832261 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 10:11:02 +0000 crazydoglady 2832261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I think your menu sounds grest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832260 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 10:07:51 +0000 SweetiePie 2832260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: pasta salad is seriously my favorite summer dish! This is making me want to make it for dinner tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832257 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 08:45:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 2832257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m thinking a veggie heavy pasta salad, with dofferent colored vegetables to go with the rainbow theme. Easier to eat than regular salad and I can make it the day before and just toast with extra dressing in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832256 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 08:42:07 +0000 SweetiePie 2832256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: 👍🏼 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832254 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 08:36:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2832254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I’m going to have those wine spritzers in a can from Trader Joe’s! Easier than mimosas and any leftovers I can just keep in the fridge for another day. Plus beers and seltzer’s for grownups, water and juice boxes for kids or adults. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832253 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 08:36:10 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2832253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pasta salad or Caesar salad! 🤗 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832251 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 08:21:20 +0000 SweetiePie 2832251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t think anything else is needed. Mayyyyybe pasta salad if you really really want something. I actually went to a kids bday party last fall and that’s what she had and the adults inhaled it. </p> <p>Maybe mimosas? ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832236 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 03:17:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2832236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t think you need anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832221 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 22:04:50 +0000 PinkElephant 2832221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: honestly, I’d just skip it! I wouldn’t think twice (as an adult guest at a kid party) about pizza only. I figure it’s not a dinner party for me, it’s a child’s birthday party that I need to attend bc my child is too young to go alone, so I don’t expect to be catered to and appreciate anything (ie, enough extra kid food for me to have a few bites, and maybe a flavored seltzer or something!)</p> <p>My DD turned six this year, and I have to say it’s nice that we are starting to see more drop-off parties! It cuts down on the planning for two groups (adults &amp; kids). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832220 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 21:52:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2832220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: that’s a good idea- I probably will add cheese and crackers too.<br /> @PinkElephant: we are renting a bounce house in the backyard! So possibly parents can eat while their kids are bouncing too. But yes that’s exactly why I feel like the salads don’t get eaten- it just requires a little bit of concentration I don’t have where I can eat pizza while I chase my kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832214 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 21:17:47 +0000 wrkbrk 2832214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Nothing!! Pizza drinks and fruit is enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832212 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 21:01:05 +0000 PinkElephant 2832212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Simple salad (bagged kit or order from the pizza place), or else a pasta salad? How much to order depends on what the kids are "doing"/how much supervision they'll require. I feel like at most parties I can scarf a piece of pizza while the kids eat if I'm hungry, but I don't often have time or agility to eat something that requires more delicacy or a fork because one of my kids needs my help or is getting into something :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832204 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:51:16 +0000 dc yoga bee 2832204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same menu and people ate the salad. Not everyone wanted heavy meat and it was easy enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832203 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:49:05 +0000 FaithFertility 2832203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe meatballs?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832202 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:32:59 +0000 erinbaderin 2832202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think with a veggie tray you probably don’t need a salad. I might add breadsticks to your pizza order and call it a day. Maybe add cheese and crackers to the food you put out at 10:30, I find that’s always a hit with kids and adults. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832200 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:28:13 +0000 cake2017 2832200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely a salad and or wings? But I think you’ll be good with what you stated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832198 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:26:12 +0000 Beehive 2832198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a Caesar salad would be great - a friend had this at their kid's lunchtime birthday party with pizza, and the adults definitely ate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sides-for-pizza-at-a-party#post-2832194 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 19:11:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2832194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having my daughter’s 5th birthday at home in a few weeks. Party goes into lunchtime, 10:30-1, and I’m planning on ordering pizzas and chicken tenders from a local pizza place. Will also have fruit salad, as well as a veggie tray and chips/ snacks before the pizza arrives. </p> <p>What other side would you like to have with pizza at a kids party? I was thinking a simple salad, but I feel like those are always barely picked at. It’s a kids party but parents will be coming with them. Something either easy to make ahead of time, or easy/ not to expensive to order. </p> <p>And obviously birthday cake! I’m attempting a rainbow cake (but can always pick up a grocery store cake if it’s a major fail :silly: ) </p>
