Definitely fairy bread and homebrand cupcakes.
Buy popping corn and do your own (rather than buy the prepacked stuff) - it's cheap as! You can even add food colouring and dye it if you wanted to...
Check out what fruit is selling cheaply and make fruit kebabs. Mini ones on toothpicks are cute for little kids.
If bananas are cheap you can slice, dip in honey and roll in coconut - sooooo delish!
A sausage sizzle if you're having a bbq is cheap. And garlic bread on the bbq is yummo too!
HTH
I found sticking to 4 or so things makes it cheaper and easier too. If you are doing a BBQ perhaps just snags/bread. Agree with the fairy bread/cupcakes and then maybe some popcorn (do you have a popping machine or someone you can lend it from) as an activity even so making popcorn necklaces etc. Something out of puff pastry can be cheap as a savory too - so pinwheels with cheese/ham or just pesto. Squares with a few olives and some cheese?
I think keep it simple as often there is way too much food at parties and often it gets left out and goes to waste.
