13 Outdoor Birthday Party Food Ideas
- Garden salad
- Order pizza and have it delivered pool-side. Have it delivered for the time you would like everyone to eat. It will be a hit and easy for you.
- Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches (if there is no allergy concerns, of course).
- Fruit kabobs
- Goldfish crackers
- Chips
- Trail mix of some kind
- Dried fruit (raisins, bananas, apple chips, pineapple, mango, etc) – SuperTarget has many varieties.
- Animal crackers
- Ritz bits sandwiches with cheese or peanut butter filling.
- Cold pasta salad (kept properly chilled, of course).
- Fruit salad (also chilled).
- Veggie tray (be sure to keep any dips chilled, of course).

Sounds like a fun party.
Crackers made out of Goldfish?? lol lol
Not heard of them before (unless it is a brand we don’t have in Australia…)
Oh, and I like the idea of pizza’s being deliverd to the pool side, I will just have to get a pool!
Stop on by if you want to have a look at our list…

these are great ideas, specially #2!

Some of those items are more my kids’ taste than mine, but it’s a great list!
Hey! Nice to see you doing a list again! I hope this means you’re a bit less harried lately.
These are neat ideas; I wonder how many I can put to the kids’ birthday parties at the end of the summer.
(what’re the Shrek babies up to??? I’ve been loving those pictures!)
Yummy. Happy TT.
Oh, great list! I need this…I’m trying to plan a party for August. He’ll be 2!
Those are very great ideas. Maybe I’ll list down for future use. Thanks for sharing them.
My T13 is up too.
This is an awesome list just in time for my son’s birthday!!! Thanks for sharing — happy Thursday!
I love main dish salads (pasta, rice, etc.) for eating outdoors.
Everything sounds delicious…I am so hungry now
happy thirteening!
Some good ideas here. My daughter is having her 6th birthday party on Saturday. I just need a pool!
Happy TT from Ireland.
Defintiely need to try some of those! The kids would love most of them! Happy TT
Subs. I love sub sandwhiches for outdoor eating. They’re so messy that it’s a natural fit.
Another food list! Yummy!
Happy Thursday dear!
Yum! I am campaigning to have myself invited to any party you next host! (Shameless me!) Haha!
Happy TT!
What wonderful ideas….If we are having a summer party or summer birthday party, I always make Fruit Pizza. It is a big hit with both kids and adults…
I will have to try some of your ideas!
I like all of those!
Happy TT!
Liked your list!
Great list, happy TT!

Great ideas. Little pieces of cheese and tiny sausages or cutup hotdogs served with toothpicks is a hit, too. Of course, they have to be old enough not to swallow the toothpicks.
Mmmm, great list. Thanks for sharing it on the Carnival of SAHMs
All the fruit stuff sounds yummy.
