1. Put lots of sliced fruit out or make some fruit kebabs

3. Rice Krispie cakes "always a winner at any age"
4. Make a Hedgehog using half an orange + stick cocktail sticks with cheese + fruit on them into it "kids love it + healthy"
5. Carrot sticks and hummus or another dip
6. A big bowl of popcorn
7. Cocktail sausages or mini sausage rolls
8. Ice cream floats (scoop of ice cream in a glass and pour in a mineral on top)
9. Digestive biscuits with Philadelphia and strawberry on top "kids loved them"
10. Chicken skewers with dips to pour over chicken or dip.. sweet & sour etc
11. Mini burgers & pizza "all go down a treat"
12. Chocolate fountain "a total hit make some fruit kebabs ie strawberries grapes my daughters friends from school were asking before her birthday was the chocolate fountain going to be there they remembered it from last year :) "
13. Pancakes "Let them decorate them themselves. It's a winner."
14. "We do the usual - sausage rolls, crisps, cheese, cocktail sausages, choc animal biscuits, salady bits, buttered baguette (or for my girls that were born in the summer we do a bbq) :-) "
15. Jelly boats.  Just get some oranges, cut them in half and scoop out the orange being careful not to tear the orange skin!! make up some jelly and pour into the 'boats' "I used red jelly and green so they could choose (or fight) over what coloured boat they wanted lol"
16. Homemade pizzas "For my six year old niece's party my sister made small pizza bases, put out toppings in bowls (cheese, tomato sauce, ham, sweet corn etc) and let them make them.. played pass the parcel and old school games while they cooked" or what about "Puff pastry pizzas - literally get the ready rolled puff pastry fold back a little bit on each corner...put tomato puree or tomato pasta over it...mozzarella cheese and use your imagination..."
17. Decorate fairy cakes "For my daughter's first birthday I didn't have time to decorate the fairy cakes so I made icing in three different colours, put jelly tots, smarties, hundreds and thousands etc out on a table in bowls and everyone decorated their own..adults and kids LOVED this!"
18. Keep it simple: "Last party I had my Mam said "don't be going mad with the food just do sandwiches buns cocktail sausages just like I used to do" I did and although I was nervous with 35 boys aged 5-8 but they ate everything and no one asked if there was any sweets. However girls are different to boys!"
19. Green jelly frog pond with chocolate button frogs and licorice water reeds
20. Top Hats!! Spoon some melted chocolate into a bun case then put in a marshmallow then dab another bit of chocolate on top of the marshmallow and pop on a smartie.  "So quick and easy to make and the kids love them"
