The soup seems like it could be awkward to eat if people are mostly standing around. Not to mention, it will make feeding the kids a bit harder. I prefer option 1. The items are easy to eat, and are appealing to kids & adults alike. I would suggest including a salad. Even a plain garden salad would suffice.

I agree with the PP, but I would also add containers of applesauce and baggies of some kind of snack (maybe goldfish) for the kiddos.
