Food for a birthday party?!


Question: Food for a birthday party!?
My sisters best friend and i are throwing her a surprise party for her 30th birthday!. I really wish i could supply a great dinner for everyone (about 50 people) but unfortunately i can't afford it!.
What are some suggestions for appetizers or finger foods that are pretty cheap and inexpensive!? As far as i know there are no food allergies and there will be about 20 children!. And it's an afternoon party, starting at 2 until who knows when!. Any suggestions would be a great help! thank you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I think the easiest thing would be stuff like finger sandwiches - tuna, chicken salad, egg salad!.!.!.!. crackers and cheese!.!.!. chips and dip!.!.!. veggie tray!.!.!. maybe some meatballs!.!.!.!. fruit bowl!.!.!. and no bday party is complete without m&ms, lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah, asking everyone to bring a plate of nibbles would save you a lot of dough, although if you are asking for the guest to bring food then maybe say no presents!? its up to you!. Some summer fruits like strawberries or dried apricots are so yummy when dipped in white chocolate or milk chocolate!. You could mix it up and do half half with some drizzles over the top!. Mini hotdogs are always good, buy some bake at home rolls (you know the mini ones!?) and cook mini frankfurts to put inside!. Good luck and REMEMBER, people should remember the party and whether or not they had fun!. not how extravagant it was :D Www@FoodAQ@Com

How about making it a pot-luck!?!? We did that for my 40th and everyone was totally ok with bringing something! It saved me a BUNDLE of money feeding 60 people!

All we supplied was the meat (we grilled sausages), drinks, paper supplies & booze!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can always just have a hamburger and hotdog cookout!. call some of your family and ask them each to bring something ex!. potato salad, chips, soda!.!.!.!. they wont care, thats what family is for! lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

Just cancel the party!. It sounds like it is already ruined!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
