You've finished all of your DIY decor for your little one's 1st birthday party, but now, you've got to decide on the foods and drinks you'll be serving.

Providing a party menu for a first birthday party that everyone can enjoy can be tricky. Aside from trying to please babies, toddlers, teens, parents and grandparents, you also have to be cautious with ingredients. Younger children are more prone to food allergies so you want to make sure you have something everyone can enjoy.

This menu takes all the guess work out of planning your party menu with foods that will be enjoyed by both the young children in attendance and their parents.
