Help me plan a menu for Cora's bday?

Yum!!!!!!! You should do strawberry and marscapone sandwiches. I could eat strawberry everything.

Really though I would just get trays of stuff. Wegmans does all sorts of stuff. We usually do sushi, quiche, fruit or veggies.

I like the croissant sandwich trays at Costco. You can get buckets of sides there too, fresh from the deli area - pasta salad, fruit/veggie tray, etc.

For dessert, I'd probably get plain cupcakes and super cute toppers from Etsy. Like:

I wouldn't do a goodie bag either. Send them home with some edible strawberry thing.

Ditto a cookie favor.

Love her..check her IG too. She'll do anything. And cookies add to the decor when you put them out on the tables.

Ditto Costco sandwich trays - croissants, wrap roll ups, and their cilantro shrimp salad thing is delish

Is do strawberry shortcake and or strawberry cheesecake for desserts.

A salad with strawberries, almond slivers, spinach, feta (?), and the poppy seed/ champagne vinegrette (?) from Target.

I'd also get either some white or green berry baskets and put out fresh berries. Or see if your farmers market sells them in the baskets already.

And probably a strawberry lemonade

Strawberry lemonade.

I agree about edible favors. I'm thinking of giving out macarons for DD's birthday favors. They have different flavor, so you could do strawberry shortcake ones?

My Midwestern roots may be showing but I love this strawberry fruit dip where you combine a package of strawberry cream cheese, a jar of marshmallow fluff (lol, I know) and a 1/4 tsp of almond extract. Serve with apples, pears and any other dippable fruit.

For something more labor intensive, Martha Stewart strawberry cupcakes are great.

I hate favor bags. Something edible is fine- a cookie, some candy.

Costco has great cakes. At our last few parties I've served a souplantation brococli salad that's been a huge hit.

Don't do a favor bag, do an iced cookie or something edible.

Menu- if it's in a Saturday, get a nugget tray from CFA. Strawberry lemonade,
Nice fruit tray, wrap tray, veggies and hummus.

wannabe could probably make you something excellent, if she has the time for it. 
Her cookies, as party favors, are a guest favorite. 

wannabe, I have always wanted to try your cookies! Do you sell them?

If you do the pinwheels/croissant sandwich trays, you could serve a spinach & strawberry salad as a side.

A strawberry theme makes me think of lighter foods. You can basically just go raid Costco & come home with everything already made! Pinwheel sandwiches, a fruit tray, a veggie tray, a spinach/strawberry salad, and a Costco cake (which I think strawberry filling is an option!) Done! I add thyme to my strawberry lemonade. It's fantastic!

I'm guessing you won't, but if you're having a fire, you can dip strawberries in marshmallow fluff and cook them over the fire. A fun, different treat.
