   For Kids and Adults what do you have?
 Do you do anything special for under 1s?

   We just did a BBQ, which included food everyone could eat really, just your typical BBQ food.
 DS was BLW so that is super easy, but By 1 most kids should be able to eat anything anyway, and IMO if a parent knows that their child can't or won't eat "regular" food, they should take their own for their kids

   Had ours yesterday - just a bbq; sausages, steak and prawn skewers, 3 salads, macaroni cheese and roast potatoes.  I decided that kids could have sausages and prawns, potatoes and macaroni cheese...salads are a bit hard to chew without that many teeth but they were mainly for the adults anyway.  TBH the older kids were too busy playing to really stop for lunch, sausage in bread was perfect.  We do BLW here too so just gave DS some macaroni cheese, prawns, sausage and beetroot.
 
 And as MamaT said, if my child needed anything special I'd just bring something myself.

   I would go to the library and see if you can borrow a book with good kids bday party food. My DH bought me a book with some awesome ideas, happy for you to have a look at it if you like. 
 
 We are just doing an afternoon tea and I plan to have savouries like mini pies and quiches, rice crackers and dip, cupcakes, cocktail sausages, mini sandwiches, slice, etc mostly the food will be aimed at the adults/older kids as there aren't going to be too many babies there, but I will make sure there are options babies can eat.
