    For my daughter's 2nd, I went for finger food so I wouldn't have to supply forks. This is what I did:
    • A couple of pizzas cut into smallish slices (ppl don't want too much per portion at parties, I find)
    • Egg mayo sandwiches
    • Coronation "Chicken" sandwiches (turkey is cheaper ;))
    • Breadsticks (these were practically all the little ones seemed to eat!)
    • Carrot batons (I bought the bags of ready-prepared for ease :eek: ;) - Asda do a huge "big saver" bag I think they are called) and celery sticks
    • Cubed value Cheddar
    • Salt-your-own Asda brand crisps
    • Yog-mayo dip with chives
    • A yog-mayo dip with honey and mustard
    For the sweet things there was brithday cake and a tub of mini meringues (£1 I think) and some whipped cream for people to top their own.

    It was a fairly frugal spread but got no complaints - nothing but appreciation in fact so yay :T
    Love and compassion to all x
