How about going to your supermarket's deli department and order party trays. They have a booklet that you can look through and then place your order. You can pick them up the day of your party. They have all types of party trays such as:





Finger sandwiches,


Regular sandwiches,


Man sandwiches,


Fruits,


Cheeses,


Cheese and meats,


Chicken wings,


Shrimp,


Crab,


Pinwheels,


Vegetables %26amp; dip,


Desserts of all types,


The list goes on and on.
Party trays are convenient but they are really expensive. usually a fruit tray costs $20 when you can buy the fruit and make your own for about $8.


Fruits, cheese %26amp; triscuits, wheat thins, hummus %26amp; pita or hummus %26amp; veggies, microwave popcorn- plain not butter, lunch meats for sandwiches, peanuts, sugar free popsicles, sugar free pudding cups, cheerios %26amp; milk
Fruits and veggies are a good choice. Pretzels are high in sodium, but low in calories and fat.
