Party food??

Hi - after some help/advice.

Having a "tea" for DD - 10 people attending (8 adults and 2 children)

Do you think this is enough:

Ham/Chicken Spread Cobs
Cheese cobs
Egg cobs
Potato Salad
Colesaw
Onion/sausage/pineapple/cheese cocktail sticks
Pizza
Carrot and Cucumber sticks & Dip
Home made banana Bread
Salad
Bread Sticks
Crisps
Sausage Rolls / Pork Pie
Birthday cake

(Ok, its REALLY not healthy i know this!)

DD is having her "main" party with friends on Sat. The above will simply be a "tea" at 6pm for family

Don't have LOADS of time for prep - Is there anything i might have missed?

Thanks in advance

    No ice cream and jelly mentioned. Well, never mind the jelly but perhaps a couple or 3 tubs of different flavoured ices with assorted toppings like sprinkles, aerosol cream, fruit salad? (yes there is a healthy bit!!)
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

  • What about Scotch Eggs? And we always do olives though these aren't to everyone's tastes.
    Nachos with melted cheese and salsa and home made pizzas are a must at any party type event in our house. Super cheap and easy to make!
    Hope you all have a lovely time!

    Personally I would ditch the coleslaw/potato salad in favour of some cherry tomatoes and possibly bagged salad...basically as its really difficult to eat without a fork!

    I may also be tempted to do a few tuna and mayo sandwiches/rolls instead of the spread ones...but again thats based more on personal taste...

    Youve got a good mix of finger foods so I would leave it at that...
