I'm being so indecisive about this brunch menu for LO's birthday. Here are some ideas I have. Please help! I want to stay away from bagels..... mainly because with bagels comes lox and that's pricey. We have quite a few people coming, and most would want lox.
Egg dishes-
Quiche, egg salad, or deviled eggs.
Bready dishes-
Strawberry banana bread, french toast casserole
Blueberry Oatmeal
Yogurt parfaits
Spinach pasta salad (I wanted to incorporate bow tie pasta since it's bow theme)
Fruit Salad

Your menu is making me drool - I love brunch food 
I'm horrible at planning stuff like this, but for an egg dish, I usually make this, since I can just throw it in the oven and be done w/ it.
Maybe add in some coffee cake?

I think your ideas so far are great! What about a fruit tray or hash brown casserole? I also like the coffee cake idea.

I love quiche at brunch so that's always my vote. And it's easy to customize-- like some with meat, some without for vegetarians. And it's really easy for me since I just use the pillsbury crust
Maybe an extra meat-y thing, just a plate of bacon or sausage or something? But I'd be totally fine with exactly what you have listed.

I think you need some protein other than eggs. But for eggs, I vote quiche. Yummy!

My girlfriends and I threw a brunch theme bridal shower and had an omelette station and that was a hit! (her hubby volunteered to be the chef). Other items included assorted muffins, breakfast sandwich wraps, fruit salad....

What about things you can pick up like croissants, donuts, and maybe a fun fruit punch? Are kids coming? Maybe do a fun yogurt station where they could add different toppings?

I loooove planning brunch. I try to do one savory, one sweet, one fruit and some bready items (croissants/rolls/biscuits) and then adjust depending on how many people you invited.
Instead of quiche, I once made this spinach and cheese strata for a crowd and it was SO good. Bonus, you get it ready the night before, let it sit in the fridge overnight then bake the next day, so it frees up a ton of time. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/12/spinach-and-cheese-strata/
This strawberry cake would be a good sweet, and so nice since it's strawberry season (I've made it too, delicious).
