What about a few sandwiches/wraps, veg sticks and dips.
I think your list is fine really.

 

[becks20]

Oooh i do have dips on my list lol i forgot to put it. And i didnt really fancy making loads of sandwiches but i suppose iv got 3 hours to do the food anyways so i could do them thanks x

The supermarkets to great value packs of party food selections. Are you wanting to make it all or are you game for buying it? A personal fave of mine is the pineapple/cheese or pickled onion/cheese on sticks. A true oldy but I never tire of it

Dont forget a french stick and butter. After all the fatty and generally yummy stuff its nice to settle your stomach with some bread! Plus its good for the dips. I always do a bowl of boiled eggs - sounds weird but people love them.

That's a great party list, sure you can't make it 10 guests and invite me!!!

How about a bowl of Grapes, esp if kids coming to snack on

And I agree with Princess, you can never have too much Pinapple and cheese on sticks! yummm

If you didn't want to do sarnies, you could whack lots of small baked potatoes in the oven, (allow plenty of time for them to be cooked if doing lots and then turn oven off when done till ready to eat, to keep warm, have a bowl of grated cheese on the table to help theselves, will go nicely with salad and nuggests etc

you can cook a batch of baked potatoes the day before and heat them in the microwave just before serving and theyll still be crispy

Thanks everyone Im just doing my shopping list online lol hoping i can get my normal shopping and all this food for under £80 lol

Anyone know wheres best to get a cake? i no supermarkets but just wondered if certain ones are better thanks x

I love marks and spencer sponge birthday cakes, but I think theyre all nice, and if youre getting delivery from somewhere, might just be worth getting from the same place!

 

[vixforever]

Did you get it for all under £80?

 

[becks20]

yea and got my normal shopping aswell and a few extras all for £70 and im going to get cake at weekend. if i order it knowing my luck id get a smashed up cake or the delivery driver would drop the bag as he hands it to me :/ lol. Plus i need to see the cakes before i choose one x

 

[vixforever]
