[quote=Anonymous]Yes to food. What and how much depends on time of day.

Morning: bagels, muffins, fruit, apple juice, coffee (for adults).  Have enough of the food for kids + adults.  Cupcakes or cake.

Mid-day: order pizza.  Have a veggie tray and chips.  Cooler of juice boxes or capri sun.  Cupcakes or cake.
(I've done variations with a crockpot of mac and cheese, or pulled pork + rolls, which were all a hit, but much more work and not really necessary IMO - kids like pizza just as much)

Afternoon: Crackers, Hawaiian rolls, sliced cheese, deli meats, fruit, chips.  People can make a roll-sandwich or just snack.  Cooler of juice boxes.  Cupcakes or cake.  (See a theme here?)  
Some people like pizza even if the party is at 3pm but I'm not a huge fan.  Go for it if it's easier than the snacky-lunch-ish stuff.

Activities:
Free play while they arrive.  Have one structured game or activity, then snacks/cake, and more free play.
Structured activities can be egg hunts (substitute themed item of your choice instead of eggs), water balloon toss, freeze tag, kickball ... your choice.

Totally fine to group two parties into one.[/quote]
