Fun Party Food Ideas

You may be a gourmet, but a party calls for some fun food with a laid back style. Fun party food ideas, are basically simple items cooked with ease and enjoyed as the party heats up. Since, it's a party reeling under the mood of fun and frolic, your guests aren't going to be really bothered about how it is presented or how is it cooked. Keep it as simple as possible and in sufficient quantities, so that your guests can relish it till the end. If you really want to make a fun menu at the party, I suggest go with the theme. Party goers love to experiment and wouldn't leave a chance to try out something new.

Party Food for Kids

Kids, chocolate and sweets, is one of the combination, that can never go wrong. I mean, I still drool over those delicious Nigella Lawson recipes made for kids. If it's a birthday party, then a cake becomes your inevitable option for the party. A fruit punch, with some zesty flavor and vibrant color, will be a great hit among the kids. Sandwiches, with Nutella spread, potato chips, warps with vegetables or meat (the choice is yours), tortilla with a suitable fillings, cookies, burgers, cup cakes and ice creams are treats that kids will never get bored of!

Party Foods for Adults

There is a lot that one can experiment with, when it comes to party appetizers and meals for adults. There are no barriers to your culinary experiments, when it comes to deciding a menu for an adult party. However office party food ideas are clearly different from fun food party ideas. Cheesy onion dips, fried raviolis, chicken lollipops, croissants, tomato and basil sandwiches, hummus and pita bread, salads, fish fingers, salsa and chips, pizza muffins, unforgettable pizzas, burgers, rolls and wraps, tortillas, desserts and pastas will never go out of appeal.

Party Beverages

A party without a beverage is incomplete. Coming up with non-alcoholic beverages is sometimes difficult. Apricot sparkler, apple apricot smoothie, banana tropical, bubbling pineapple punch, raspberry punch, a chilled cappuccino, chocolate shake and iced teas are some of the non-alcoholic beverages that you can serve at your party. There are a lot of alcoholic drinks that you can serve at the party.

Parties come with a lot of leftovers. Hence, it's important to know the right amount of quantity that will be required. Well, you may not get there 'exactly', but minimum wastage of food is what you must aim for. To know the quantity that will be required, know the headcount. Send out invitations, beforehand with RSVP, so that you know the number of guests likely to attend the party. If it's a kids birthday party, parents are always likely to stay, so do count them in, while ordering for the food.

Place the order well in advance, so that you can make changes if required. Since, you have a lot of guests coming in, it's advisable to serve them in disposable. This way, you save the time required in washing and cleaning them. If it's a party of adults, then you may hire the crockery and cutlery too. Have fun!
