Birthday party food

[sherrardk]

My daughter is having a party on Sunday and (as usual) I am having a dilemma about the amount of food to provide. It's going to be sandwiches, little sausage rolls, baby sausages, crisps, pizza, biscuits and little cakes. There are going to be thirty five children and assorted parents. Anyone have any ideas on how much stuff I should do - I don't want to be mean but I don't want to throw loads away either (which is what usually happens). Thanks

Mabye about around 50 of each thing , but since it is a CHILDRENS party,children LOVE candy , so you should buy alot of candy :) what i did on my little brothers party , was did this, it was the perfect ammount , and not that much got through away :) hope i helped x

try making stuff you can take home and freeze pasta dishes cold legs of chicken (cooked of course) dont spend to much on things like fancy little cakes they always get thrown as do massive bowls of trifle

good lord, 50 of each item?

I'm willing to bet if you only make a dozen of each item you'd still have shedloads left over at the end of the party.
