Ideas for children’s birthday party finger food

7 Dec

Organising a children’s birthday party can be quite a feat. And when you start to count, it generates an endless list of things to prepare and organise so that everything is perfect. Invitations, party decorations, gifts and details for guests, games to entertain the little ones… And of course, the food! The easiest, cheapest and most convenient option is opting for a party with a snack-type menu. All you need is a couple of tables where you can present, on the one hand, the savoury food and, on the other, the sweets.

 But organising a buffet of finger food and making it look nice can seem a bit complex. That is why in today’s post we are going to give you very simple ideas with which you will achieve a sustainable, beautiful and totally customisable children’s birthday party. 

There are many options on the market that aesthetically do not fit and that, unfortunately, are not at all environmentally friendly. But worry no more, because from today you can forget about disposable plastic plates, cups, trays and food containers. Apart from the fact that they don’t look very aesthetically pleasing, we also have to think about the planet and reduce single-use plastics on a daily basis. Our alternative is to use a wide range of cardboard boxes for food – eco-friendly food packaging that will look great on your table!

 

Eco-friendly food packaging

 To start with, we introduce you to the cardboard tray. This food packaging has endless possibilities, because as well as being able to choose between different sizes, it is ideal for transporting food to the party venue. The tray is perfect for transporting medium and large-sized snacks such as sandwiches, sandwich bars, fruit, etc.

Another simpler option is the cardboard base, perfect for serving cheese and cold meats; with the help of wooden tongs, guests can easily grab their portion. And don’t forget to put grapes and nuts to accompany the cheeses, they go perfectly together!

And if you want to serve croquettes, your best option is the food tray. You also have a wide variety of colours and sizes to suit the design of your party, every detail adds up!

Cake displays are ideal for presenting sweets. They enhance and give a lot of prominence to any type of food you place on top.

One thing we know for sure is that when it comes to creating a visually appealing food buffet, there is nothing like playing with different heights. Start by placing any of the above options directly on the table. For example, a couple of small trays, a large square tray and two food boxes. Then place a couple of cake stands in the middle to create an appetizing buffet. On the display stand you can place cream tarts, cronuts, croissants, macarons forming a pyramid… The double height will give the sensation of a much more abundant table and you will also leave space between dishes to create an appetising snack at a glance.

And to decorate the space, a tassel garland is a must. You can hang it from the ceiling, on a wall or on the side of the tables. But as far as personalised decoration is concerned, the icing on the cake is our personalised stickers – create your own stickers and labels!

Personalise and decorate your boxes 

With digital printing on our website you can add your own design to the labels or choose one of the designs available in the design library. Add them to boxes, glasses or create a super easy mini topper. How? Place the end of a toothpick on the adhesive part of the sticker, cover the same end with a second sticker and your mini topper is ready! Ideal for decorating canapés or for mini-sandwiches! 

As you can see, organising the tables and food for your party or your little one’s party is very easy with these customisable food boxes. All our cardboard boxes are very versatile and can be used for different types of food. When the party is over, you can even give them a second use: as take away boxes to take away leftover food or, reuse the cardboard to make small children’s crafts as a game.

We will be delighted to see the multiple uses you give to our cardboard boxes, both for your gourmet creations and for the original uses that arise from the reuse of cardboard.
