Coles has some great GF pre-mix cake packets that you can turn into cupcakes. You will have to make sure the icing sugar is GF (I think pure icing sugar ie not the icing mixture). Lollies are not GF, some chips, some premade dips etc.
Popcorn
Rice crackers (Sakada/home brand) with cheese and ham
Most plain chips are gluten free, but check the seasoning doesn't contain gluten.
Mains:
Some frankfurts are gluten free (check the packet, I *think* it's the Don ones you buy in packets in the deli aisle)
I cut up chicken thighs into strips, roll in gluten free breadcrumbs (don't bother with flour/egg as the fat on the thighs makes the breadcrumbs stick), spray with cooking spray and bake in the oven for about 15 mins - "chicken nuggets/strips"
Home made chips or oven baked roast potatoes
Fried rice with veggies, chicken/ham/bacon- cheap and easy and most kids eat it. Tamari is gluten-free soy sauce
If you put the above things in the middle of the table with tongs, most kids have an awesome time serving themselves.
Dessert:
Fruit platters - on skewers is great fun (think "fairy wands")
Lollies (check packet)
Chocolate (check packet)
Target sell gluten free Cheezels in party packs of 10 - you could just give each party child their own packet so they don't get cross-contaminated
Cake mixes can be gluten free - I'd get the freedom ones as they don't taste quite as bad.
Hope this helps.
ETA: It would be easier just to do the whole thing gluten free - that way no kids "miss out".
