Food for a 1st birthday party?

Question

What kind of food did you guys have for a 1st birthday party? So I’m super stressed. We had to plan my sons 1st birthday party in a week. It’s just close family and close friends but even then we have a huge family lol. I have no idea what kind of food we should make, and we’re on a budget. Can someone throw some ideas out there?

Answer

I have a huge family. We always go Italian. It’s cheap and fills everyone up. 
A big salad
Bread or rolls
Ziti or lasagna
Meatballs and/or sausage
Then of course a cake and any other little deserts. We always have a veggie tray and fruit available for “apps” at parties as well
You could make yourself or usually the Italian restaurants or pizza shops near us have deals all the time.

Answer

Maybe cause I’m from a Latin family but at almost all the parties I’ve planned and been to there is always rice beans and meat lol
And if not, hamburgers hotdogs or Lissania and tossed salad on the side, chips/veggies and dip, and cake and whatever desserts u like

Answer

Pasta salad is cheap and easy. Tri color rotini cooked and chilled chopped veggies, Italian dressing. You can do it the day before and just don't put much dressing until you serve it
Frozen pizzas if you're at home
hot dogs/pigs in a blanket (you can make them yourself, small hotdogs wrapped in pieces of pillsbury croissant dough, bake)
Deviled eggs
Cut watermelon 
Chips cookies etc
You can get a couple bags of salad and some cherry tomatoes and maybe cut up peppers or cucumber 
That's what we did and everyone was happy.

Answer

We did a brunch & had bacon on sticks, hash brown casserole, donuts, fruits, mimosas (& virgin mimosas), & I cant remember what else. The donuts were stacked like a cake and my little guy got his own iced sprinkle donut for his “smash” cake

Answer

My sister threw her daughters 1st birthday party last summer. My family is Dutch, but her hubby is Italian so they ordered catering from their favorite Italian restaurant. She had Pesto Pasta, spaghetti, lasagna, a huge green salad, grapes, watermelon, veggie tray, chips/dip, pinwheel sandwiches, and deviled eggs. She also had a sandwich making station with meat/cheese platters, bread rolls, and condiments that she ordered from her local grocery store. She ordered her cake from her favorite bakery, but Costco has amazing cakes for much cheaper! She had about 40 people so there was a lot of food. 
For my son’s 1st birthday we might do a pasta theme as well, or we may just get some pizzas or bbq tri tip with the same sides that my sister served.
