[OPEN] apple pie is officially banned from this party, aka Steve Rogers' birthday
who: ANYONE
what: 616 Bucky, Peggy, and 616 Tony throw a birthday party for Steve.
when: July 4th, afternoon into the evening
where: A nice park
warnings: Birthday fun. :v
Steve Rogers, former (and still) Captain America, was born on the Fourth. It was pretty much fated. That said, he deserves a party that has nothing to do with Independence Day, and that's what Bucky, Tony, and Peggy set out to do. They rented a nice little park with some good open, grassy space perfect for a pick-up game of football (American, of course). On one end of the park, in the relative shade of a couple of large trees, they've set up two long tables - one for food, and one to deposit presents for the birthday boy on. The picnic tables already in the park have nice blue tablecloths to eat on. A banner hung between the trees proclaims, "Happy Birthday, Steve!", in blue letters on white.
The decor tries to stay away from Fourth of July colors - there isn't a speck of red, just shades of blue and white, and it's all very put-together and classy looking (thank you, Peggy and Tony). It's the sort of party they thought Steve would want, outdoorsy and casual, just a gathering of friends and whoever else wants to come by to wish the birthday boy a happy one.
Invites
Invitations have mostly been word of mouth and texts sent to people Steve is friends with, nothing too fancy. They just say to drop by and wish Steve a happy birthday, have some food, and spend some time hanging out; Rogers wouldn't want anything fancy anyway. That said, they won't turn anybody away from the barbecue if someone decides to just crash the party, as long the behavior stays respectful.
Food
The food is mostly standard American barbecue fare. Two large grills have been set up near the tables and someone (often Bucky) is usually cooking on them - an array of burgers, hot dogs, steaks, even some ribs and chicken. Side dishes are laid out on the food table, the usual simple things. Here and around the picnic tables are a good place to mingle; there's plenty of food for everyone, and metal tubs full of ice and bottled soft drinks. There isn't much alcohol present at this party, though, just one of the tubs set aside with beers in it.
There's also a massive cake for Steve, with close to a hundred candles dotting its layers - Bucky's idea, payback for the time he couldn't see his own cake for all the candles.
Tossin' the Old Pigskin
They're all (mostly) adults here, so there aren't 'party games' necessarily, but there are a couple of footballs and some frisbees in the grass for anyone who wants to play a game in the lush field. Just be careful if the heavy hitters decide to arrange a game, it could get pretty out of hand.

Teddy / teen not-actually-a-Hulk | open
yet, but he's not exactly going to turn down the chance when it's Captain America's birthday. After all, how often is that going to happen?He's a little wary at first, being probably one of the the youngest people there by some amount, but he relaxes more as the afternoon goes on. Partly that's probably helped by the fact that although his plate only ever has a reasonable amount of food, it always seems to have a reasonable amount of food on it. And partly it's just that Teddy is a quiet but naturally friendly person, when he gets over his case of being awestruck.
By the time someone actually suggests playing something, he's happy to join in. He might cheat a little at frisbee, although mostly in subtle ways- his arm is always just long enough to reach- but if football happens he can't really disguise the fact people are more likely to bounce off him than he is to be tackled. He also can't help apologising, if they do. He wouldn't want to leave a bad impression.]

At some point, he tosses the football toward Teddy, his aim right on point to where if he doesn't catch it, it'll just bounce off his chest. Apparently he's going to drag the kid into the game.] Heads up!
