Did I commit myself to hosting this child’s birthday party?

No, you did not commit to host this kid’s birthday party. You committed to a play date, during which I assume you’d have some kind of food. You suggested you’d provide cupcakes. So the k my thing you did was commit to a pretty simple snack and to sing a four line song you already know. Nbd

Because it sounds like the kids are little. I'd get the mini cupcakes.

In my experience the kids like mini-cupcakes better. Op didn’t say how old the kids are, but I’ve found the mini ones easier to serve for young kids.

Yeah, definitely get mini cupcakes. Kids that age rarely eat an entire full sized cupcake.

You could also bake some cupcakes from a mix and let the kids decorate them to keep them occupied for a while.

Yes, you committed to providing cupcakes. At 2-4, for someone else's kid, I would do mini cupcakes.

Ok will get cupcakes and will not tell others. I guess I thought she would bring since it is her child’s birthday.


Presumably she's already hosting a birthday party so why should she host two just because you're having a playdate that day?

+1 this is not a big deal. Buy the mini cupcakes for $4.99 at the grocery store, look for a birthday candle in your junk drawer and sing for the kid. So simple!

You are cheap! You suggested the cupcakes and now you are wondering why the mother isn't bringing them.

OP's post was nowhere near as dramatic as your reply lol

Such a nasty response. OP just as asked for input. She said nothing about cost and even mentioned picking up paper goods.
