A Restaurant with a View

Posted on: 24 October 2016

If you're planning your child's birthday party, you want to make it as memorable as possible. One way to do that is to cater the event. That can be difficult when it comes to kids, though, especially if they're finicky. That's where kid-centered catering comes in. With kid-centered catering, everything is geared towards young palates and appetites. Here are four reasons you should choose kid-centered catering for your child's next birthday party.

Lots of Finger Foods

Kids love finger foods and kid-centered catering provides plenty of them. When you have your caterer focus on the kids, you can be sure that there will be a wide variety of finger foods, including bitesize sandwiches, fruit skewers, and miniature hotdogs. One benefit of the finger foods is that even young children have the opportunity to enjoy independence when they don't need their parents nearby to prepare their food for them.

Appetizing Food Bars

If your child enjoys preparing their own food, they'll love having catered food bars at their birthday party. Whether they like pizza, tacos, or even salads, a kid-centered caterer will be able to provide food bars that will satisfy your kids specific food choices. For instance, if your child enjoys pizza, you can have the caterer provide pre-made pizza crusts that the party guests can then fill up with their favorite toppings. If you prefer tacos, you can have the caterer set up a kid-sized taco bar right in your back yard.

Drink Stations

You're going to want to provide drinks at your kid's party, but that doesn't mean you need to stick to the basic lemonade or fruit punch. If you want to take things up a notch, ask the caterer about kid-friendly drink stations. With drink stations, your young party-goers will be able to choose between, soda, fruit juices, or even smoothies.

Make-Your-Own Dessert Bars

No birthday party is complete without desserts. While you're planning your child's catered party, don't forget to add a make-your-own dessert bar. Of course, you'll still have the birthday cake, but your young guests will also be able to create their own ice cream sundaes, or cotton candy.

Now that it's time to plan your child's birthday party, don't settle for the typical party fare. Instead, plan for kid-centered catering. Your child, and their party guests, will enjoy a catered event that's kid-friendly.
