Food Trays for Kids B'Day Party

[Anonymous]

Hi There- I am planning my child's birthday (guests between the ages of 3 and 6) which I am having in a community party room. I need to feed the adults, as well as the kids. I am non creative and would rather pay for platters/food then do something up myself. I was originally planning to get a nuggets tray from Chik-Fil-A as the primary lunch for the children, but just realized they are closed on Sundays (day of the party). Trying to avoid doing pizza... any other ideas for a kid friendly pre made platter from somewhere convenient to Bethesda, Rockville, Wheaton? Or any other ideas for something easy that doesn't involve a lot of prep time? Thank you!

I know you just said you were trying to avoid pizza, but at our 3-year-old's recent party, we got Ledo's pizza, which was great because the squares are small and kid-friendly. I will say that every single adult walked in and said, "oh, I love Ledo's!" Way more popular than we anticipated (and the kids loved it too). We also got small sandwich wraps and a fruit bowl from Costco, both worked well for kids and adults.

Thank you- you are making me reconsider my no pizza position . Did Ledo's deliver?

No, but we put the order in the day before and they had it ready at the time we wanted to run in and pick it up. I was anti-pizza at first, too, but those little squares are the perfect size.

Wegmans. Their chicken bites are delish

Do you have a Cosi nearby? They do platters of cocktail sandwiches that are good. I also asked them to make a side tray of PB&J sandwiches.

We had a sub platter from Potomac Pizza and they will deliver within a certain vicinity.

I would get a basic sandwich platter from Giant along with a fruit tray.

I would go with pizza too. Watch the Chinese food if you have peanut allergy kids.

Costco. You can feed an army with their sandwich platters and mac and cheese.

We did this for a kids party because Chik-Fil-A was closed, and it was great! Adults loved it too.
