maybe for a snack but do you have any idea how much food 11 year old boys can eat?
Don't forget to get a bunch of pop- grape, orange, red. Rootbeer floats as a night cap?
Bonus points for extra carbonation that will contribute to a belching contest at some point.

I'd skip toothpicks for kids unless they're the fat rounded edge kind. Finger foods are great.
They could be messy though. I was going to suggest buffalo wings but there's a high probability of sauce getting everywhere.

I'm sorry, but you should monitor fat/sugar intake. Even if you are okay with your son getting fat, you can't be sure everyone else is with their kids getting fat.
What to have:
-Apple
-Oranges
-celery and avocado spread
That's a great way to end up with a sh*t ton of leftover apples, oranges, celery and avocado spread. I'm guessing you have younger children.

this is what every 11 year old boy wants to eat. Even I would not want celery and avocado spread at a party.

Boys at 11 will not be interested in decorating cupcakes. They would barely want to make their own pizzas.
Would add mozzarella sticks.
Also plan for breakfast. Waffles bacon and juice are usually a big hit.

have some fruit or veggies available too. If you put a plate out and don't make a big deal at least a few of the kids will probably eat some. Not because they, or you, care abaout being healthy that night but because they like them. Maybe put a few things of string cheese out too.
This. You could also include a tray of fruit kabobs and veggies with ranch along with the other snacks if you want to add some variety. Also, having plenty of the smaller size bottles of water available will help you avoid having tons of half bottles of the larger size sitting around your house.

Anything to be eaten with finger or toothpicks. Mini hot dogs, meatballs, sliders, wings -- notice ell the protein? This age group will eat you out of house and home and still be hungry,
