For the past several years, I have made up fake menus and then everyone picks a picture and I have food/utensils/dessert that coorelate with it.
This year we did the military menu:

We had meatloaf cupcakes with cauliflower on top, salad, donuts, side dishes and then the plates/utensils. Let's just say that the kids didn't get their plates until later and they ate salad w/dressing off the table.
