My son's 3rd birthday is at the end of the month. For his 1st and 2nd we had an Oktoberfest with German food which was excellent, but we're scaling back this year and want to do something different anyhow.

I have two older DDs as well, so between everyone's events it's like we've done baked ziti and chicken parm up the ying yang! (Part of this is to placate the ILs Chat Icon , but I'm done with that...)

Have you guys had any other fun options?

how about Mexican?
-Tortilla chips served with salsa and guacamole
-Tacos, with the fillings in separate bowls. Also children can add only the ingredients they like
-Cheese/chicken quesadillas cut into wedges
-Spanish rice
-Mexican style beans or refried beans

We did Mexican for one of our parties & everyone loved it! It's fun, ppl enjoyed making their own tacos & burritos and having toppings options.

do you have a party theme? maybe there are food choices that can be inspired by the party theme. I prefer to do it like that.

Or for other ethnic cuisines you can do mexican, greek/israeli/turkish mediterranean, chinese, southern bbq, indian, hawaiian pig roast...

I went to a party catered by Famous Dave's. It was great.
Also, Moe's caters if you wanted to do Mexican.

Great ideas, thanks! I'm thinking of Chinese or BBQ now--I'll have to save Mexican for DD#2...her b-day is the same week as Cinco de Mayo Chat Icon We usually do mint juleps for the Kentucky Derby, but Margaritas sound nice!
