You simply can't throw a birthday celebration without some great birthday party food.

The birthday party food ideas you'll find on this web site are all submitted by our visitors. Be sure to check out the section related to your party and offer some of your own as well.

As with any party plan, try to keep things simple. If you can achieve that....it will make the whole experience that much more enjoyable. Too much food, games, decorations or anything else will only distract and confuse your young guests.

To ensure that everyone eats well, stick to familiar foods that have stood the test of time for likeability. Especially at a birthday party, no child likes to be faced with a food they've never seen before let alone tasted. So reduce the chances of someone going hungry by sticking to a menu filled with common delights.

Here's a few ideas:

Finger Foods - Finger foods are easy to prepare and most children love them. You can even buy prepackaged mixed-variety finger foods from your supermarket that you can easily toss into the oven.

Sandwiches - Make a few different varieties to satisfy different tastes. Common fillings include cheese, ham, turkey, chicken salad, and the all time favorite peanut butter and jam (just be sure to check with parents first in case of allergies).

Pizza - Personal mini pizzas are fun to make and most kids love them. Buy the crust pre-made, slice up the pepperoni in advance, shred some cheese and prepare any other toppings. Then simply line up the kids and allow them to design their own pizza. Pop them into the oven while the kids go back to play and when they're done, let them cool a little and then serve them up.

Fruits and Veggie Platter - Sliced cucumber, celery and carrot served with your favorite kind of dips make a great snack. Compliment these with a platter of sliced fresh fruit. The adults will love this one as well.

As with other aspects of party planning, plan your birthday party food ideas ahead of time to ensure all goes well.
