2pm bday party for preschooler

Would it be weird to serve pizza and cake at this time, or should I just stick with cake?

My preschooler would still be napping at 2pm. Unless it's a good friend, he would not attend.

That said, if you do it, serve snacks and cake. Have a fruit platter or veggie tray and some pretzels.

If the preschooler is 3 they may have naps then. Not so if they're 5. Just saying.

To answer your question, I prefer cake. It's not a meal time.

OP here, my kid is 4 and neither he nor his friends nap...i already know people are attending, but don't want to be one of those bad hosts who doesn't serve enough.

Eh, just serve a variety of food. Fruit, veggies, cheese and crackers. Cake too.

Then I say just cake, but specify that on the invite. *Cake will be served at 3pm, after an hour of bouncing/sword fighting/whatever.
Then people can plan accordingly.

Yes, serve food. Pizza is fine. So are snacky items like cheese and crackers, fruit and little appetizers.... But have multiple snacks. I find pizza is easier then getting a bunch of apps. In my family, a party = food. I would be really surprised if I went to a party and there was only cake.

This is why it needs to be explicitly stated on an invite what will be served- to avoid disappointment.

Neither of my kids napped by 3. Anyway, I’d serve pizza just because kids seem to always be hungry. I hate when my kids are starving after birthday parties.

Always serve food.

Who refers to a five year old as a preschooler?

My almost three year old would be napping.

Anyone who has a child with a birthday that falls between Oct 1 and the summer? My DD (who is still 4) is in preschool. We are going to a 5th birthday party this weekend. They will all start kindergarten in the fall.
