Recs for prepared sandwiches for birthday party

I'm having a birthday party for my 4yo and because of the venue and timing (10am, ending at noon) we can't do the usual pizza. I'm going to have some bagels and other snacks for parents, but I am too well aware of the dangers of hungry kids to forgo having lunches for the kids. Ideally I'd love to find somewhere to order individually boxed lunches in kid appropriate flavors (turkey/ham/PBJ, all as simple as possible.) Alternatively I'd be happy with somewhere I could get trays of sandwiches, and I'd track down some take-out boxes etc.
Any ideas? Most of the usual suspect sandwich places (Potbelly, Subway) don't open early enough. Whole Foods and Marvelous Market seem to mainly have sandwiches that are a bit too large and/or adventurous for the average kid palate. I've used Giant for sandwich trays in the past and they were fine, so that's an option, but I'm just trying to figure out if there might be something better out there. It's only about 15 kids, and I could always try to do it myself, but with 2 kids, a FT job and a lot else going on, I'd love to be able to outsource this! Thanks for any ideas or suggestions. Preferred location would be NWDC or Bethesda/Silver Spring. |

| If it's a Saturday do a tray of ChikFilA chicken biscuit thingys. + bagels, fruit, yogurt, juice. |

| Snider's does a good sandwich platter, and they're reasonably sized. They also do a nice cheese tray with crackers. |

| I just ordered Taylor Gourmet for a partry and it was wonderful. they did an assortment of their most porpular snadwiches. they were wrapped up nicely and cut in halves. I also order a salad on the side that was great. And they open early! |

I just want to say bravo! to you as the mom of a constantly hungry kid, who thrives on protein. I am sure other mom's will thank you also.
You could also do a tray of just lunch meat and cheese with toothpicks! |

I have never tried them, but I have seen some prepared sandwich-type foods (pinwheels and other things) at Costo.
Wegmans and Harris Teeter may also fit your needs. |
