Ideas for 1st bday?

[jerzgirl25]

Ds's 1st bday party is next Sat, and I am still undecided about food. I am starting to panic. It's going to be on the beach with a Crabshack theme.
So far I have crab shaped cookies for favors made, but that's it. Party is at lunchtime. Will be mostly adults, some elementary aged children, and some toddlers.
Ideas?

My theory with food for a party is 1-2 entrees (to make sure there's something for everyone I usually include one vegetarian entree and one non-vegetarian entrees), a veggie dish (crudites, salad, etc.), a fruit dish, and then free reign.

How theme-y do you want to get? You could do a boil, crab salad sandwiches, or the like. Or you could keep it simple and just do regular sandwiches, as is or cut into crab shapes.

Thanks for the ideas! I think I was falling down the Pinterest rabbit hole and just getting crazy. Your suggestions are great. I think I'm going to order wraps, sandwiches, etc from my favorite place, and make my Mac and cheese and maybe some sweet and sour meatballs. Some crudités and chips and I think I'll be good.
