Birthday parties. They can be memorable events for the kids and take a lot of work for parents to organize.
In the United States, parents typically spend around $400 on their child’s birthday party.
One thing parents may feel pressured to get right is the birthday party menu. What are the best birthday party foods to serve at a birthday party?
Read on for a few of our suggestions.
Pizza
Pizza is hard to go wrong with when it comes to kids. It is usually very easy to make and very easy to serve. If a parent does not want to do the work, they have the option to order pizza from a restaurant too.
The best part of this is that it is easy to distribute. Let’s say that there are 16 kids at your child’s birthday party. If each kid gets two slices, then you just have to order four pizza pies.
It can be a great main dish, it tastes good, it is quick to serve, and it is easy to clean up.
Hot Dogs
Another type of food that kids usually like is hot dogs. These are also relatively easy to make if you prepare well enough. The only things you need are buns, condiments such as mustard or ketchup, and the hot dogs themselves.
All you have to do here is order a pack of frozen hot dogs and then either cook them on a barbecue or cook them on a stove. Like pizza, you could safely account for each child having two hot dogs.
This option is also very easy to distribute and clean up.
Ice Cream
We talked about good choices for the main dishes above but what about dessert? Well, most kids would have a hard time turning down ice cream as long as they are not lactose intolerant.
The best part about this is that kids can get very creative with the ice cream that they have. If you hire an ice cream cart catering service, you can maximize these options while having somebody serve all of the ice cream to the kids.
Kids can pick different flavors from vanilla to chocolate, strawberry, and more. Plus, kids can choose whether they want ice cream in a cup or on a cone. On top of this, kids can add toppings to their ice cream ranging from hot fudge to sprinkles, whipped cream, cherries, and more.
Serve Good Birthday Party Foods
These are just some ideas for birthday party foods that you can put on the menu for your child’s birthday party. For the main course, you want something simple, easy to distribute, and delicious such as hot dogs or pizza. Then for dessert, you can pull out all of the stops and get an ice cream truck for your birthday party desserts.
