Tips and Tricks for Hosting

When you host a kid’s birthday party, you should choose foods that most children can recognize. In addition, let’s not forget that many kids are picky eaters. So, if you make something unique or new, there’s a possibility that they won’t want to try it. One thing you can’t go wrong with is having plenty types of finger foods. That way there is a variety of options for them to choose from!

Here are some crowd-pleasing finger food ideas:

  • Sandwiches
  • Cheeseburgers
  • Wings
  • Mini pizzas
  • Veggies and dip
  • Loaded nachos

Be sure to check whether any of your guests have food allergies, and avoid food that might cause issues, so everyone can have a great time. And don’t forget the little ones altogether, of course! Although it is not recommended to give toddlers popcorn as it could create a choking risk; there are plenty of foods you can provide. Try easier to chew foods such as bananas, yogurt, and cheese cubes.

You can’t forget that kids always have a sweet tooth! Be sure to add these deserts to your table scape for the ultimate party table scape:

Make It Memorable

What better way to get the kids excited and entertained than to throw a party around a theme. We want your guests to feel immersed in the experience – so we’ve got pool party snack ideas, mermaid party snack ideas and even dinosaur party snack ideas to excite any kiddo!

You can make it fun with food coloring, shapes, napkins and cupcake wrappers to carry the theme throughout the party! And believe me, one Google search can open up a world of possibilities for your gathering especially when search birthday party snack ideas.A photo of two toy dinosaurs, the on the right is holding popcorn kernels while balancing a bowl of popcorn on his head.

Turn your backyard into a Jurassic park movie night! Delight your guests with spicy nacho cheese popcorn, with a fiery bite just like a dinosaur’s and some yummy dino-shaped chicken nuggets. During the movie they can dig for fossils in mini sandboxes and take their treasures home with them for keepsakes.

Popcorn also makes for the perfect pool day snack because it can be served a number of different ways. Elevate your mermaid theme or pool party with sea salt caramel corn in boxes complete with pearlescent scales. Or create your own DIY popcorn bar with sand castle shovels as scoops!
