I don't know what granola bars are, but I meant to say nut free and vegan as well as gluten free. (thought I said it, sorry)

We have coconut rough, mini pizzas, jelly cups, pumpkin pasties, melon balls on tooth picks.

Of course since we are vego it will need to be fully gluten-free and vegan, but her friend has a nut allergy.

We will have roughly 20 kids and 10 adults. She is having 2 cakes because of the theme. Most kids will be 7 to 9, with a couple of 1 to 3 year ods.

For my son's 5th birthday party last week, I did a big fruit salad, corn chips with a cowboy caviar type of dip and caprese salad skewers. Not typical kid food, but the kids all loved it! I was actually kind of catering to the adults, but the kids really enjoyed the food!

So she is having a Harry Potter party and I found recipes for the food in the Harry Potter series. They can be made gluten free and vegan, except the licorice wands so working on a way to adapt.

I read an article awhile back about someone making "potions" at a Harry Potter Party. Actually they were smoothies with the kids choosing the fresh ingredients that were given wizardly names. I thought it was a cute and healthy idea. Sorry I can't remember where I saw it, but it shouldn't be hard to do.

For vegan I would do hummus, bean dip, salsa, assorted chips and pretzels. Maybe popcorn. A fruit plate. A veggie plate. We did Enjoy Life cookies instead of a cake.

We had a "potions" table, I can't even remember all the names of them now, but we had things like Vampire Blood which was just red cordial, and I found some sherbert too. I bought little cauldrons from the party shop in their halloween section, and used alcohol bottles that I got from Freecycle for the liquid. We have a softdrink maker so I made up some softdrink and when they mixed the sherbert with softdrink in test tubes it fizzed right up, turned out so good.

We have a shop here that sells gluten free, organic, vegan items that mimic the regular ones but with a price tag that would make most people nearly die, luckily she only has a birthday once a year, and this is the first really big one she has had.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
