In addition to ditching the Asian wraps, I would also ditch the nacho bar. Ziti, meatball subs, and pizza are PLENTY of work and should appeal to everybody. Increase the number of meatballs; if you have any leftover, you can always freeze them. Maybe add a green salad for grownups.

For the desserts, I would skip the brownies (although they take zero time to make). Cupcakes and rice crispy treats are more than enough.

That's a good point, but another way to go would be just to get some gluten free pizza.  It's not hard to find these days.  You can even get gluten-free dairy-free (which we bring for DS to all birthday parties).

Pizza's a terrific way to take care of GF, vegetarian, vegan.  I know people would get tired of it if it were their only option at every grownup party, but at a kids' birthday party I think everyone understands pizza.

Of course, if you're dead set on nachos with 3 different toppings plus pulled pork sandwiches, well, I wouldn't say no!   :D [/quote]
