I can have an alcohol free child's birthday, correct?

[Anonymous]

Just family is coming over, about 18 people total. 6 children. Alcohol is expensive and it's a daytime birthday party for my 3 year old. We don't need alcohol, do we?

No, but you do need soft drinks or iced tea or lemonade or punch.

Last time I hosted a party DCUM told me I needed these drinks and no one drank them. Everyone drank the bottled water I provided. If it's not alcohol, people around here just don't drink their calories. It took me forever to get rid of those sodas, teas, and lemonades.

you do not need booze at a 3 yr olds afternoon party. seltzer water and honest juice boxes are fine.

The alcohol culture on dcum is out of control. My family and friends would think I was nuts if I offered alcohol at a children's birthday party. And we are all ok with drinking.

Unless you're serving alcohol to the kids...

Of course it's fine-but you know your family and what they expect better than we do. I have some family that would be horrified by alcohol at a kid's birthday party and other family that would turn around and head straight for the nearest liquor store.

For me it was the opposite, I put 2 six packs worth of beer in a cooler and they were gone so quickly. I was surprised and had to go to the basement and get more.

Uh, that’s not the opposite.

Make a simple syrup with some fresh-squeezed lemon juice. It can be mixed with water if anyone wants lemonade, and if not, it's a small investment that freezes well.

My brother and brother in law would probably like a beer, and my sister would like wine or some fancy drink. But they can get over it and have some iced tea, right?

No need to provide alcoholic beverages. I’d va e one non water option. We had a brunch time party and had champagne and oj and Tea and coffee.

A case of yuengling (sp??) And a bottle of red and a bottle of white all together would be 35 bucks. I wouldn't skimp.
