1st Birthday Party Food?

[becka]

OK I baked the cakes last night and I will decorate them tonight but I am still having trouble deciding on what else I want to serve for my DS's 1st birthday party tomorrow afternoon (nothing like waiting to the last minute to make decisions, huh?) .

There will be 8 adults and 2 little guys at this party so I need to make sure I have enough for everyone to snack on.

My current ideas include:

Rotel Cheese Dip
Strawberries with Cool Whip
Deli Tray - cheese, crackers and deli meat

Does anyone have any better ideas for me? I don't want to spend a lot of time preparing anything because there are a million other things to get ready as well but I do want everyone to have at least a few things to munch on in addition to all of that cake.

Thanks in advance!

What you have sounds nice. If this is easier for you, I'd just go with it.

Things we like as finger foods are a veggie tray & Chex mix. That adults probably would been too excited about it, but the little guys might like Knox blocks/Jello jigglers. When my kids were under 5 I always did the Knox with fruit juice rather than actual Jello - but the Jello is easier.

When we have cold cuts we usually go with salad, potato salad and a pasta salad.
Another big hit is nachos and dip.

becka, I think that sounds perfect!
Just rest and enjoy your little guy's big day!

I am sure he will have a happy birthday!!
