Favorite Costco items to throw a child’s day time party? Unsure of # guests

[Anonymous]

Pinwheel platter or croissant sandwich platter?

Veggie tray? Fruit bowl?

Mac and cheese?

I am browsing for a winter party for my 1st grader. It’s hard to know what’s best because my kid will eat anything… I have to tell him to not eat stuff he’s dropped on the floor.

The only one of those regularly consumed at kids parties for me is the fruit bowl. There is a reason people always buy cheese pizza.

Oh really? I was thinking the pinwheels because they are so cute but just wondered if they are hard to eat. Kids wouldn’t eat those?

Just browsing because I am getting tired of all the pizza parties.

one time i made PBJ for a kids party. it was a hit. if you want to be fancy, you could use cookie cutters to make your own uncrustables.

This is OP. I know there are nut allergies in the class so nuts are out. But I thought Mac and cheese would be fun and unobjectionable.

We've served their mac and cheese at a kid party, and it was a hit.

Most won’t. Sorry. I don’t think you’re hearing what you want to hear.
Grab a bag of chicken nuggets if you don’t want pizza. Don’t overthink this. Their mac n cheese is very very heavy.

I have made my own sandwich platter, but the mac and cheese and Cesar salad are my go to. Subway sandwiches are usually eaten. I usually do a mix of pizza, subway and a salad and other snacks. I am surprised people say it doesn't get eaten because at my parents eat but I put it on the invitation so people know we are feeding kids and adults.

Chik filet nuggets are always a hit
You could do carrots, fruit or Mac and cheese from Costco to go with

I would do a 10-noon party and serve muffins (cut the big ones into quarters, mini bagels, fruit bowl, mini quiches, water for the kids and coffee for the parents.

I’m ok with alternatives. Just tired of pizza. What about subway or jimmy johns?

We went with Jersey Mike subs (Jimmy Johns was closed the day before the party when I went in to place an order.) Worked out well. I also ordered some cheese pizzas as a second option. A lot of kids had a small sub and a slice.

Pigs in blankets were a hit at a recent party. You can get a box of frozen ones, or wrap hot dogs / cocktail wieners (depending on where you want more of an appetizer or a meal) in refrigerated crescent roll dough.
