Don't forget to tell your guests that is on the menu. Some kids won't like just tater tots fyi


By 12, kids should learn to be polite and eat what's served. Out of a bar like this I'm sure even the pickiest eater can find something.


To me this sounds delicious, but if you do like not tator tots, the rest are toppings. So what would the kids eat? The hot sauce? Ketchup? A bowl of melted cheese? The point of saying the menu is not so parents can ask you to change it, it’s so parents know whether to drop off a hungry or full kid. It does not cost the OP anything to mention tator tot bar in the invite.

Plus, most kids are great at politely not eating. But this is always followed by parents insisting they kid eat or questioning them relentlessly why they are not eating or barely eating.


You get what I was trying to say. I always write the menu so parents and kids know. I'm not telling them what to serve or worry that kids will 'starve' or not be polite. My question is why not do this as a courtesy.

I am sorry, but DCUM parents are incredibly lazy.

Not for tweens.

Consider anything you would put on a baked potato or Nachos.

I don't think it's a big deal. Does the host have to write down all the activities and flavor of cake as well so nobody gets surprised? It's probably a 2 hour party. At 12 the kids probably know each other well and the birthday girl will probably tell her friends anyways. I don't think there is an expectation that every party comes with an itinerary and menu as a courtesy.

There's always cake and likely there will be other food too. If your kid is very picky then just always have them eat before or bring something small they can discretely eat. Also the host may change the menu up until the last minute so why commit if it's subject to change based on a 12 year old's whims? At this age I don't see the point in worrying too much if a tween might get a little hungry at a party and not eat the food. What's the concern?

I eat totchos, but not tots.

OP - you could, if you were feeling generous, provide a couple bags of tortilla chips for the kids that don’t like tots.

My kids gag at the texture much to my dismay.

I hate them and would be super disgusted by this. And I'm not a whole foods only restricter, I'd rather have Taco Bell than tater tots.

Then you are not invited to the tween party!

At Nats Park there is a tots stand, and I think some topping options are BBQ, Mac and cheese, and crab/Old Bay (maybe you could do shrimp?).
