childrens birthday party ideas food etc

BONJOEY

dont people always do to much food,
make enough sandwichs ,so they have 2 triangles each , that will be plenty, they always end up in the bin,

asda have some good goody bag gifts in packs of 6 , quite cheap as well,

i always buy the plastic see through cups from poundland, and fill them with jelly, great idea, and cheap to do!

dont go over board on the goody bags, just say a ballon each child , a little toy , as menthioned above the ones from asda, say a couple of sweets, a choccy bar , and a lollipop, that sounds enough,

just a tip as well, my 7 year old had a bouncy castle last year and all the kids had there party food, then jumped straight back on bouncy castle , one of them was sick, i dont think id given them enough time to digest there food, so say have a pass the parcel game after the party food, then back on bouncy castle,
hope any of this helps xx

good luck

Maybe you could ask some close friends if they'd mind bringing trikes/toddle cars etc with them so the children have other toys as well as the bouncy castle to avoid a big all pile on! We went to a party like that last year and it was lovely. No-one minded bringing a toy or so with them.

Mini pizzas?
Rice crispies or cornflakes in melted chocolate?

The last party we went to the host had put gingerbread men in the party bags which I thought was quite unusal and really yummy (DD was abit young so I had to eat it )
