Menu Items for Your Kids Birthday Party

When it comes time to plan a birthday party menu, focus on what will please your guests. Kids are known to be picky eaters. Bite-sized snacks, colorful beverages, and sweet treats are all sure to delight young party-goers. Keep things simple for a streamlined planning process, and less stress when it’s time to set everything up.

Here are a few ideas to build out your birthday party menu:

Snacks: Keep it easy with finger food snacks instead of a full meal. Sandwiches cut into quarters, vegetable platters, and small cups of popcorn are all easy to prepare — and to eat!

Beverages: Include healthy options like all-natural fruit juice, water, and milk. You can also add a little food coloring to sparkling or seltzer water to match party colors!

Dessert: Don’t forget something sweet! No birthday party is complete without the cake. Impress guests with a delicious ice cream cake from Carvel®. Whether you choose a classic round cake or a Double Crunch Ice Cream Cake, guests will remember your party for its delicious dessert!  Plus, nothing beats the added convenience of picking up your ice cream cake from the Carvel freezer at your local grocery store!

Base the amount of food you serve on how many RSVP’s you’ve received. It’s always better to have a little extra on hand in case guests eat more than expected.

Choose just the right Carvel® Ice Cream Cake for your birthday party. Browse all of the options, and send a free online invitation to get the party started! Don’t forget to claim your $2 OFF coupon for your next ice cream cake purchase!
