For all the mums....

17 Mar 2008

I'm in the process of organising a kids birthday party for 25 kids and wondered if all the mums out there could give me a hand in decided on....
Hotdogs.... or good old Party food???
I know that they would like both of these but im thinking on quickness and tidyness... I've hired a room so don't want any major food fights :haha:
What you think girls... What would you choose?

Good old party food! cannot beat it! lol

Here's a tip.. years ago I catered for my daughter's birthday for 20 kids. I went to Greggs and bought 20 cake boxes. In each box I put two sandwiches, one cake, one biscuit, a small packet of crisps and put bowls of sweets in the middle of the tables.. the kids loved them!

Do you know - that is a fantastic idea.
I would also add fruit as most parents and children are aware of health and often choose healthy options.

:thumbup: I would defo add fruit now, maybe some raisins etc., but back then, 12 years ago there wasn't the emphasis there is now on healthy eating, it was just starting. Now I'd probably add a smoothie or fruit juice.

Initially, I thought the same thing.
Then I actually thought about it, & realised yeah- you do, but it's usually just avoiding the clearing up! lol

Fabulous idea - wish I'd known about that when my lad was young. He's 20 now - so it would have to be a bit different - 2 condoms, one porno DVD, a packet of tissues and a tube of zit cream.

Back in 1946 I catered for my grandsons birthday. What with money being tight and rationing I bought 50 pigs trotters, boiled em up and covered em in toffee and served em on a lollipop stick.
Toffee trotters are now a local legend and 3 of em survive in local museums.
