Re: 1st Birthday Party - Menu and Decor

@Reha

So my little bubba turned the big 1 on the 6th of this month (yayyyy Deeno bear)…and I am planning a belated birthday party for him. It will be celebrated late so family can make it.

Here is my menu and some ideas I am tossing around:

I saw the local library has a small room for residents to rent out - I am not expecting more than 50 people if that many since we are new in this town.
@khattichic…do you know of any small venues around us that would be appropriate for a 1st birthday?

The decor…

I am debating between a color scheme of blue and silver or teal and black. There will be balloons everywhere…so imagine an explosion of balloons and streamers.

The menu…

I am not doing desi food since its a daytime, casual affair and I don’t have my army of helping hands.. I want less fussy finger food. The menu so far…please suggest if you can think of anything:

Artisan Cheese Platter with Seasonal Fruit
Fruit Kebabs
Crab Salad on Endive
Brie and Carmelized Onion Quesadillas
Mini Crab Cakes with Garlic Chive Sauce
Grilled Veggie Wraps
Red Potato Salad

Dessert:
Cake and something else I guess? But what else? A sweet table? I don’t know…I feel like sweet tables are done to death and sooooo overwhelming with the sugar…never been a huge fan of them. Unless I mix it up with sweet stuff and fruit?

I am going to wear something nice…most probably shalwar kameez or I may go get a nice dress. But most probably it’ll be shalwar kameez.

What say guys?

Goody bag?
