Food for a first birthday party

[Anonymous]

If you went to a first birthday party that was just moms and babies, would you expect nicer more adult food, or be fine with eating kid type food if it was home made and reasonably healthy?

How many ppl?

Just moms and infants? Or will there be some kids there, too? If just mom and infants than obviously no kid food needed. For my child's first birthday we had all adult food because it was all adults (except the birthday boy). We went to one 1st birthday party that had a tray of pbj finger sandwiches (no crusts), which was a big hit with the preschool crowd (no allergies, obviously), and some cut fruit, but then otherwise an adult menu.

Adult with food for the kids.

I would expect a mix appropriate for either. But for us, our kid ate more “adult” food at 1, before they started being a picky eater at age 3. For example, a charcuterie board with things for adults (nice cheese, etc), and kids stuff that adults like (pretzels and hummus, fruit tray, etc)

I just hosted my youngest’s first bday. I did one tray of pure kid food (hot dogs and tater tots), one tray of watermelon slices, one crudité plate (just cucumbers and carrot sticks with a dip), and a big salad. Sort of splitting the difference between kid food and food I actually wanted to eat/would want to be served.

Why would you serve choking hazards to toddlers?

If just moms and babies without many older kids, I would expect adult food.

Adult food with snacks that babies can eats (fruit, pouches etc). I think at one I was still bringing food for my kid with me everywhere, even when we went to restaurants.

You gave your guests a choice between rabbit food or hot dogs. Yummy

I'd be happy with whatever you served. I wouldn't expect adult food. Those parents who do won't be happy no matter what you do so you might as well give up trying to please them.

How about high tea? finger sandwiches, mini quiches, scones etc both adults and toddlers would like that and then some appropriate infant food for the really young ones.

I would expect adult food. I always bring some food and snacks for baby when out, even a similarly aged kids birthday.
