Fruit platter/fruit skewers (or paddle pop sticks)
Sausage rolls Mini quiches/pies Mini burgers Sandwiches/wraps (buy the square wraps, fill them, roll them then cut into slices so they are easy to pick up and eat) Popcorn Platters with vege sticks, cheese, kabana, crackers, dips, etc... Depends on the age group I guess, and also the time of the party If it was lunch/dinner time then I'd skip the sausage rolls & mini stuff and just BBQ some sausages or some chicken kebabs or something...or you could serve tacos/burritos and let people assemble their own |

We're having a party next weekend and this is what I've got planned...
On the table for when guests arrive - popcorn cups - chocolate fairy bread cut into butterfly shapes - fairy wands (bread sticks dipped in nutella then sprinkles) - dips w vege sticks and crackers - cordial/water Hot food coming out after a short time. - mini hotdogs - pizza squares - nuggets Don't stress, have fun with it, kids are easily pleased. I think the key is to not do too many different things, just do more of each dish. Oh, will also have birthday cake to go with the above |

Frog in a pond and honey joys, both really easy and can be definitely done the day before.

I always go with simple.
Fairy bread Nuggets (the fairy ones, heart and butterfly shapes) Party pies/sausages rolls Fruit platter - strawberries, watermelon, grapes etc Bowl of chips. Bowl of lollies Cake Jelly in cups Plenty of ice water Jug of mix up cordial (I have 3 large jugs, in different colours (transparent coloured, red, blue, yellow) I find the kids go through a lot of water. Water is out for the whole party. I might bring out some fizzy drink when I serve up food (pink lemonade) If I think I'm going to have parents around, I'll put out a dip or two with some bikkies. |

Love the fruit platter idea I tend to graze at parties and if it's just chips and lollies I feel sick after I have left.
Mini pizzas are a good idea. I really like fresh veggies chopped up to dip in hummos or another dip. Can't go wrong with sandwiches. Homemade mini sausage rolls are always a hit. |
