Soccer is among the most popular sports in the world and is especially popular with younger children in America and having a menu to match the party is important. If you have a little budding soccer star with a birthday coming up, why not surprise them with a soccer party, complete with a soccer menu.

The soccer theme is increasing popular and thus you can find a number of items like ,soccer plates, napkins and decorations at almost any party supply or discount store to match any menu. Colors should, of course, include the black and white of the ball, but also the vibrant green of a freshly mowed soccer field. Given the age of the attendees, it may be hard to get the guests to sit still long enough to eat much. Therefore, focus on snacks and finger foods rather than a full meal.

For kicks, have a sports themed menu at the soccer party. NFL pigskin potatoes, Basketball Hoops of Ice Cream, and Baseball Brats.

To make NFL Pigskin potatoes for the soccer party menu you'll need the following ingredients: four small baking potatoes (one pound total), one 8 ounce can of sliced or diced carrots, drained, 1/2 of an 8 ounce container reduced calorie soft style cream cheese, one to two tablespoons skim milk, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions. Next bake potatoes in a 375 degree oven about 45 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out each potato half, leaving a thin shell. In a small mixer bowl combine potato pulp, carrots, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon milk and pepper. Beat until smooth, adding more milk, if necessary. Stir in green onions. Spoon potato mixture into potato shells. Place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until heated through. For a free garnish, chop the tops of the green onions and sprinkle over the potato boats before serving. Makes 8 servings.

This menu will accent the love of sports for any soccer fan at the soccer party.

The recipes for the quesadillas, artichoke bruschetta and the olive tapenade can all be found in Budget Bash. However, this is just a sample of some finger food ideas. Now let's discuss the holiday party foods prep.

Two days prior to the party, shop for the ingredients and pre-set your buffet using various fabrics, dried flowers and holiday ribbons for decor. On party day, if you get the chance, pick up some fresh flowers as well.

One day before the party, start to prep the holiday party foods. Make the artichoke bruschetta and olive tapenade and place in air-tight containers. If you don't buy your cranberry chutney relish, then prepare that as well along with the salmon mousse, red pepper humus and remoulade.

Morning of event, assemble the easy finger foods. Be sure to use plastic wrap to keep the quesadillas, mini turkey sandwiches, ham canapés and cucumber cups fresh and tasty. Place the chips, pita bread pieces and toasts in baskets and cover with plastic. Set in serving bowls the bruschetta and tapenade, cover with plastic wrap and place back in the refrigerator.

2 hours prior to guest arrival, stuff the cucumber cups and place the tray in the fridge wrapped with plastic to keep fresh. 30 minutes prior to guest arrival, dab a bit of the remoulade on the ham canapés, spread the chutney on the turkey sandwiches and then set out the holiday party foods.

Finger food ideas for the quesadillas - you can either lightly pan fry them or for a more low-cal alternative bake them in the oven. Be sure not to forget to set up the desserts and your hot coco bar.

I hope you picked up some finger food ideas for your holiday party foods this season. Remember, either buying or making easy finger foods will allow you to enjoy the party as well. Until next time, remember the Budget Bash mantra: make it simple, stylish, fun and economical to all!
