Fairytale Dream

To be able to execute the themed buffet well, look through the Disney movie to pick up some details about the character and the environment they live in.

For a Little Mermaid themed party, choose to fill the party place with lots of shells and pearls. You can even opt to serve desserts and other dishes in clam-shaped plates. Another classic example of a Disney Princess themed party is the story of Cinderella. Act like your child’s fairy godmother and turn the buffet table into a carriage like the one Cinderella rode to the grand ball.

 

Girls and Boys Scouts

Girls and Boys Scouts

For your child with a scout’s heart, choose between a jungle safari, woodland adventure, or a forest camping theme. Take your child’s birthday celebration a notch high with balloon animals decorated around the buffet table. Moreover, fill the space with green synthetic grass and brown cloth to make it look like a real jungle. To make the kids feel like they are virtually in the midst of the jungle, choose to serve kiddie meals in banana leaves. Finally, set up a makeshift bonfire at the center stage as a unique attraction.

 

Sportsfest

What a delight it would be for young sports fans to find out that there are hoops and scoreboards at their birthday party. A sports fest themed buffet table can contain delightful sweets shaped like soccer balls, basketballs, or other sporting goods. You could also hold a BBQ or a grill party in an open field to feel like you are celebrating with your child after winning a crucial game. Incorporate the appropriate sporting designs to make the birthday celebrant feel like the MVP they are.

 

Superhero and Cartoons

Superhero and Cartoons

Has your child ever pretended to be Superman, The Flash, or another superhero? Have they acted like Iron Man flying or Spider-Man shooting make-believe webs in the air? Make a birthday party theme inspired by your child’s favorite superhero. For a child, there is nothing like seeing the buffet table filled with delightful dishes and desserts inspired by the costumes of their favorite superhero characters.

 

Science Laboratory

Is your child the kind of kid that conducts experiments in their little hideout? Help them inspire other kids to take an interest in Science as well by having a fun and exciting party. To incorporate the theme into the buffet table, make use of the periodic table of elements, some injections filled with jelly, and plastic light bulbs full of delicious treats. Serve the ice cream with nitrogen to create a mist similar to real-life scientific experiments. You can additionally serve the drinks in plastic beakers or cylinders. Find plastic versions of other chemical apparatuses to serve drinks, dishes, and desserts in.

 

Carnival and Amusement Park

Carnival and Amusement Park

For inflatables, games, and tableware, a carnival-themed kiddie party is probably one of the easiest to pull off. Several birthday party suppliers offer carnival decor as most birthdays feel like a trip to the amusement park. The buffet table can include a mini Ferris Wheel with different delights sitting on the chairs. Drape the whole buffet table with vine lights to give it a circus-like feel. Ultimately, playing with lights, banners, and the colors of the theme park will give the whole buffet table the carnival feeling.

 

Key Takeaway

When it comes to kiddie parties, you do not have to worry about serving unique dishes. Kids genuinely love the food that they are used to, such as spaghetti. Instead, focus on theme planning and allow professional catering services to perform their magic and carefully curate the best menu for your child. Pull off the best kiddie birthday party and make it one joyous celebration they will never forget.

What are catering food do kids enjoy at weddings?

  1. Mini Cheeseburgers
  2. Fruit and Vegetable Cups
  3. Smoothie Popsicles
  4. Macaroni and Cheese
  5. Peanut Butter and Jelly

Sure they’re adorable, but there can be times where children can be a bit too much to handle. This is why many couples prefer to keep their wedding children-free. Nonetheless, there are circumstances where they can’t help but allow their guests to bring children. Besides, no matter how one may feel about the notion, children are a joy to be around if they are well-behaved.

With that said, the soon-to-be married couple must incorporate some kid-friendly foods in the menu of their wedding catering in the Philippines. That way, they won’t have to worry about any guest of any age feeling left out of the party and being rowdy because of it.

If you wish to keep the little ones entertained and full, have a look at these fun and creative food ideas that could leave even the grown-up guests a tad bit envious:

Mini cheeseburgers

Everyone loves cheeseburgers; most especially the kids. Keep this fast food classic on the menu of your catering to make sure you have happy kids at your celebration.

However, you have to keep in mind that they will be wearing fancy outfits as well that the parents don’t want to get dirty. You can keep these cheeseburgers mess-free for the kids by making cheeseburgers using mini buns! Not only are these bite-sized cheesy meaty goodness super delicious, they look super cute too (don’t deny it!).

To add a bit more fun to it, why not have your little ones have a pick of their own toppings to add on their burgers? It’s a great way to get their creative juices flowing and an even fun way for both children and adults to bond with one another.

But if burgers are not your thing, try making mini hotdog sandwiches. Then allow the kids to have fun by letting them draw on their sandwiches using the ketchup and mustard. Just have a babysitter nearby to keep an eye on the kids to avoid a huge mess and possible food fights.

Fruit and vegetable cups

In a wedding, or any occasion in general, fruits and vegetables are a common sight in every feast. While meat and other poultries are ideal for a celebration, nothing beats the numerous health benefits provided by fruits and vegetables. Especially when served in cups for a more convenient experience, fruits and vegetables are here to stay in every menu around.

With that said, the cups idea is great for wedding over the traditional salad. Everyone eats with their eyes especially kids; they will eat what looks appealing to them. If you choose to do this, then serve them with some sort of dip like yogurt for the fruits and mayonnaise for the vegetables. To level up the creativity, make fruit and vegetable kebabs then use the cups as containers for the dips. You can even add a little extra flavoring for the vegetables to give kids a new and exciting taste

Another thing that makes this dish a standout for kids is that you get to control the quantity of how much you’d want to put. Whether you choose to tip the scale in favor of fruits and vice-versa, this dish will surely garner massive amounts of likes.

Smoothie popsicles

In any wedding, one of the most sought-out courses during the celebration is none other than dessert. After the newlyweds feed each other cake, numerous sweet teeth are sure to flock around the table yearning for a bite of some pastries.

There are many options for desserts other than the wedding cake itself. But one thing’s for sure: Popsicles will always remain a hit to kids, even more so when smoothie popsicles are added to the table.

While the rest of your guests are feasting on fancy desserts, serve smoothie popsicles to the little ones. This will keep them cool and satisfied especially during a hot wedding. But of course, you can also whip up a batch of grown-up friendly smoothies as additional dessert. Just make sure they are separated from one another so there won’t be any accidents of an alcohol-laced pop being served to one of the flower girls (yikes).

Also, for these treats on sticks, why not make things interesting by making a game out of it? Engrave one of the popsicles sticks with an emblem or symbol of sorts and distribute these popsicles to the children. Whoever gets the lucky stick wins a prize from the bride and groom. What a way to turn your tasty ideas into an even better one.

Macaroni and cheese

Macaroni and cheese is a certified hit with kids and is many parents’ go-to to make sure their kids have happy tummies. You can have this at your wedding as well, but you’ll have to get creative to make them feel like they’re eating special macaroni and cheese. Go serve this recipe in small colorful bowls or get creative by making mini mac and cheese pies. Fried mac and cheese balls is also a good alternative because you can skewer them with sticks for a fun, lollipop-like look.

Peanut butter and jelly

Along with macaroni and cheese, the PBJ is a classic among young and the young at heart. It has made its way into every lunch box throughout the years and has continued to bring smiles into children’s faces.

Rather than serving these in the traditional sandwich at your wedding, let your creativity shine through by making peanut butter and jelly sushi – bread strips with peanut butter and jelly then rolled up to look like sushi – or peanut butter and jelly muffins. You can even use different kinds of peanut butter and jelly to twist things up in a fun and exciting way.

Key Takeaway

These foods are a sure way to satisfy the kids – and their parents. Serve these up in a separate station for kids only so they can form a line altogether without having to mix up with the adults. Try also to set up an activity section for the kids where they can quietly entertain themselves all throughout the reception. That way, you have kept your guests and their kids happy and worry-free.
