Outside Party Menu and times

Help me with my menu for DS's 2nd bday party. It will be at our house in the backyard for a pool party.

Feeding abou 30 pple (that includes the kids that eat not including the babies)

Stacy chips, pretzels, Tostitos
guacamole dip
hummus
For the kids table - veggie sticks and goldfish
We also usually have individual chips for the kids
6 ft hero
large pasta salad
mixed salad
chicken nuggets and fries
cake
cookies
fruit platter

Thoughts?
Am I missing something? Is that enough?

We invited almost 70 and it seems to be a big vacation time for families so about 35 are coming. LOL
Party is at 2
Thinking serving around 2:45 - 3
Cake and desserts - Close to 4
I know some pple have to leave early too

I think the menu is fine if you are thinking most people will be gone by 5. otherwise I would add another dish.

I do feel like your timeline is rushed for a backyard party though.

Good point. Don't want to rush it. Especially since I want pple to go swimming and hang out.
Ill add another dish and spread out the times.
Any suggestions what to add?

I would say serve dessert a little bit later, maybe 430

eta i just went to a 1st birthday party in the backyard, they put out fruit first like watermelon and then brought out the desserts a little bit later
