I have no idea why, but kids birthday parties are some of the most stressful events that I have put together. Especially when there are both kids and adults to entertain. Subway Catering and Party City made my daughter’s last party much easier and I am never throwing another birthday without them again. I was able to set up the party and then enjoy it with her!
First off, the decor! My daughter is a creative, out-of-the-box kid. In past years she has requested: a pirate/garden party, a bug/snowflake party and last year she had an ice cream/super hero/Rapunzel party. As you can imagine it was a bit crazy trying to make those combos work! She has no lack of imagination!
This year, I was pretty happy (and relieved) when she told me that she wanted a princess/crafting/tea party. I could do that!
We sat down and went through the Party City website. They have a huge variety of party themes with bright colors and fun patterns. They also have costumes at great prices (mental note to come back in October)! Party City even has a section for party ideas if you need a little inspiration.
It took her just seconds to fall in love with the wildly adorable Pink & Zebra theme! Once she saw this personalized balloon bouquet, her decision was made!
Now we needed to feed the ten rowdy kids and a few of the kind-hearted parents that stayed to help me with the craft-making stations.
Subway Catering has a ton of different options: Party Platters & Trays, Giant Subs and Subway to GO Meals. You can also order Desserts, Sides and even Drinks. One stop for everything! Order over the phone from the Catering Call Center or online. Delivery is available in certain locations too!
With such a diverse crowd at my daughter’s party, I had a hard time choosing between the Flavor Craver, Classic Combo or the Fresh Fit platter. So we chose to customize our own platter! The platter was made up of 5 foot long sandwiches cut into thirds. We decided on a Cold Cut Combo, an Italian B.M.T., Turkey Breast & Black Forest Ham, Tuna and a Spicy Italian. We specified the breads, cheeses, toppings and they even put the sauces on the side. They were a hit at the party!
The party was so much fun! Check it out!
Hurry, because right now until May 30th with any SUBWAY Catering purchase you’ll receive $10 off a $50 order at Party City!

I was provided gift cards to Subway and Party City. All opinions are honest and my own.

My daughter has a birthday coming up in July! She’d love the zebra print stuff! 🙂

I didn’t know they did this – just those big 6 ft party subs. This would be great for one of our big playdate get togethers – we usually wind up getting pizza, this is a great alternative!
Tiffany (Fabulous Mom Blog) says
I love Subway but didn’t know they did this. I’m going to have to order some Subway catering for our next family get together or birthday gathering. I might just go to Subway for lunch today.

What a great deal! Our Party City closed a few years ago, but I do shop online occasionally (and I shop in person when traveling.)

Natalie Brown says
Hi! I so remember how stressful planning my sons’ birthday parties were. I love the crafting idea! One of the most difficult things for me was to think of fun things everyone could do. Having Subway to eat is a great idea too. How easy, affordable, and delicious! Thanks for the review!!
Cassie @ Southeast by Midwest says
I didn’t know that you could customize the Subway platter. I’ll have to remember this for my next family reunion.

That’s pretty awesome that you can get that Party City extra with the catering gig! They did a party for me last year, and it was so well done!
Pam says
This is really an easy but yet tasty way to celebrate a birthday or any occasion. We have a few family get togethers this summer and I will most likely use Subway for one of them. Subway happens to me my older son’s favorite place to eat a healthy quick lunch.

Wow! This party is truly awesome! I would love to hold birthday parties such as this in summer. 🙂

Jordan says
Oooh, that is very cool! Thanks!

We’ve done the large Subs for parties, but never the platters. Those would make parties way less stressful in the kitchen!
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
I am obsessed with Subway! I could eat it daily, I swear! My niece manages a store and we always get party trays for family get togethers. They’re perfect for birthday parties!
Christie says
Subway is perfect for parties. And with this deal, definitely great for summer!
StacieinAtlanta says
This is perfect. I am quite frankly sick of pizza thanks to parties. Subway would be the ideal alternative.

Her party looks so fun! I’ll have to try Subway catering for my oldest’s birthday. He does not like pizza at all.
Janeane Davis says
This seems like a great idea for a party- sandwiches are a nice portable treat.
Christina S says
I didn’t even realize Subway had party platters. That would definitely be easy.
Sherrie C. says
It’s good to know that Subway offers party platters because catering will save me a lot of time for my son’s birthday. I just wish we had a Party City close by. Guess I’ll have to do our party supply ordering online.
Migdalia - @MsLatina says
I love your decorations! That pink and zebra decor would work so well with adults as well. Btw, happy belated birthday!
Jessica (Savory Experiments) says
This is a great idea! There are so many other things you’d rather being doing as a hostess than cooking!
