Whistling innocently.... i have no idea how many, don't have the RSVP's yet and the date for them is only 4 days b4 the party..
At the moment including A i think it's something like 22 kids.. oh it's going to be a busy day but i am expecting that some of those wont make it.

Went to the cheap shop this morning, they had the foam stickers (in the pic) for $2 a packet, there are easily over 50 stickers in each pack so i got some butterflies and a bug mix which had butterflies, lady bugs, bees & dragonflies... so now when i buy the plastic cheapo table cloths i can STICK bugs n things to it, i can also pop them on the cups and write the kids names on the foam so they don't loose them...

Argh yay for cheap shops... most og the things i have bought have been like $2 a pack, so far the goody bags have prob cost no more than $5 a child.. not even.

Ok so as it stands i have 14 kids confirmed as a yes, IF the ones that haven't replied or are maybe's come it's about 22.

I have decided adults will be having kids food with some adultish snacks... do you think this is ok??

Food so far:
2kg's - little boys
Sprinkles for Fairy Bread
Sultana's for kids
3 packets chips - plain, salt 'n' vinegar & BBQ
Chicken Crispy and BBQ Shapes
Rice Crackers
Lollies for goody bags

TO GET:
Party Pies & Sausage roles - HOW MANY? possibly 22 kids and say 20 something adults??
Fruit & Veg - fruit platter & carrots, celery etc for veggie sticks
Bread - fairy bread and vegemite sanga's etc.
Dip
Jelly - green & blue, going to make a little garden with snakes and frogs hidden (more for the bigger kids).
Should i do an adults dessert??? maybe get MIL to make choc ripple and maybe just buy a cheesecake or something?

Any other ideas for food???

That sounds good to me. If you are only doing snacks for the adults too, the best thing is all that can be left frozen if you don't need it.
