For Melody's First Birthday Party, I really struggled with what food to have at her party.  We knew we would have cake and an ice cream sundae buffet, but I wasn't really sure what to do about other food or if I should even have other food.  We planned to have about 30 people or so, and we opted for a party at 2 pm.  So we knew we would not need heavy food, but I wanted some sort of appetizers for everyone to snack on.  I contemplated continuing with the ice cream theme, but I wasn't exactly sure how to do that.  So we opted for some various finger foods.  I also was sure to include a few things I knew Melody and some of the other kids could have.
