Last minute party food help!
I am having a small, 3-hour party for DS' 3rd bday tomorrow in our backyard.
10 kids (all ages 2-3), i'm guessing about 20 adults.
I'm on a strict budget and so we decided we would have pizza as the "meal" since it's lunch and small children.
But, what else should I serve/have? The whole budget aspect has me thrown, I don't know what to get. In the past I was never on a food budget and spent way too much on food.
What additional things should I have for the adults? buffalo wings, do I get apps from BJ's? Help.
What about chips, etc. What should I have?

I would go to BJ's and get the big box of Piggies in a Blanket, the 2 for $5 Bags of Chips and some dip and call it a day.
While you are there grab their chocolate chip cookies because they are seriously the best!

I just went to a kids Bday party and they had pizza for the kids and adults and also a fruit platter. That was it.

Chips, pretzels and dip. Maybe a big box of assorted apps that you can throw in the oven. I would get 3-4 bottles of regular soda, 2-3 diet, 1-2,lemon lime, and then either juice boxes of bottles of juice for the kids. Also have bottles of water on hand (you can save $ by buying the gallon Poland springs instead of the individual bottles)

I would probably do pretzels, chips and salsa and maybe a green salad.
