I avoid hot dogs like the plague and not everyone is fond of sloppy joes. Use Manwich, don't use Manwich? Everyone has a preference.

My suggestion is this. Scrap that plan and go with something like this.

Hot beef sandwiches or hot BBQ pulled pork sandwiches

(The great thing about these sandwiches is they need nothing but meat on a bun--no condiments. And if you go with the beef, there is no mess-non staining (just uses cream of mushroom soup in it). Because they are cooked in a slow cooker, they take little to no effort, and you can concentrate on other dishes.

Serve with:
Baked Beans
Coleslaw
Fruit Salad
Cold Taco Salad
Veggie Tray
Chips
Soda or Punch
Water, Milk, and Coffee

Good luck!

i honestly dont like ur menu at all... its 2... common. how about you do like a spinash dip, hot wings, fish dip, saucage and cheese. and for real food have kebabs, mash potatoes, mixed salad with tuna... stuff like that. your food is way 2 heavy and u dont want people to EAT n forget about convo you went them to have right balance.

FOR A 1 YR OLD BIRTHDAY PARTY THAT IS PERFECT!
MY 1 YR OLDS PARTY IS ON MARCH 15TH AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO FOR HER.. I JUST HAD MY SONS BIRTHDAY PARTY AND MADE A HUGE TRAY (ABOUT 3LBS) OF MOSTACCIOLI, 10 LBS OF ITALIAN BEEF AND 50 PIECES OF CHICKEN..
THEN I DID A VEGGIE TRAY, FRUIT TRAY, DEVILED EGGS, AND A SALAD.. I ALSO HAD TACO DIP AND VARIOUS KINDS OF CHIPS OUT AND ABOUT..
THIS TIME AROUND I WAS THINKING SLOPPY JOES OR JUST MAKE SOME TACO MEAT AND HAVE FRITOS FOR WALKING TACOS.. THERE IS SO MUCH YOU CAN DO YOURSELF FOR CHEAP!!
I HOPE THIS HELPS AND GOOD LUCK WITH THE PARTY!!

Add a veggie tray with ranch dip

My son will be one March 16th..His party will be that day because its Sunday..

We are doing a CARS theme...

His cake and decor will be CARS...

Food:
We are going to order one HUGE half sausage half pep pizza...
I am going to be grilling hotdogs and hamburgers...
Chips and dip
Soda/Juice/Water
a fruit salad sounds nice..thanks for the idea...

Our menu is for about 25-30 people..and like 10-12 are kids..

Good Luck...

i wouldn't give a bunch of people chili or spaghetti at a kids b-day party their gonna ruin your house! just do like hamburgers hot dogs and chips and a couple different salads or mabe chicken or pizza

I don't like your menu but a suggestion, have hotdogs sloppy joes too messy, what are the ages of the people? Also, keep it simple, have some sandwitches, your hotdogs, don't have the salad, simple is better. Have a pasta salad instead of spaghetii.

I would do Hotdogs with the cold spaghetti, chips and fruit.
OR
Sloppy Joes, Scalloped pototoes and fruit.
Having all of those filling and heavy foods seems like way too much (and I LOVE to eat!)
Personally, I almost always serve Sloppy Joes to large groups because I can prepare it and put it in my crock pot, leaving out slices of cheese and buns...That way no one has to deal with cold hotdogs, and everyone can eat at their leisure! You do not need another food item. You are being anal because you want everything to be perfect (been there, done that) No one knows what you thought and didnt get to do, so no one is worse for the wear! Just Have Fun and enjoy your baby's day. You will be sad if you take on too much and miss all the fun!

Sounds good to me! Can I come with my son?!

My sons 1st b-day is March 7th, but his party wont be till the 23rd.

I think i am going to steal your menu, becuase it just sounds like a great idea!

Just a thought, how about potatoe salad, or macaroni salad vs scalloped potatoes?!? just kinda fits a bit better.

Fairy bread, chocolate crackles, hot chips (french fries),Small hot dogs, we call them cocktail Frankfurt's or little boys over her in Australia served with tomato sauce / ketchup. What about some jelly/jello, I put different colours for eg red then wait till it sets then, then green then wait till it set and then yellow, what ever colour you would like either make it in a large bowl or individual ones (Before adding the jelly on top of the one that is set make sure it is cool). Your menu sounds mainly fo the adults. Bag of lollies/ candy with a balloon or some bubbles to take home.Goggle kids children's birthday parties and food for children's birthday party, there are heaps of stuff, have fun with it.
