[quote=Anonymous]It's really nice of you to consider your guests. But as PPs stated, if anyone has a "severe" allergy, there is no way they would eat your food anyway, especially baked goods. Typically, we email or call the parents hosting the party a couple of days ahead to ask what the menu is and then we make something at home to "match" the food. It is not a big deal for food allergy families to do this and we certainly would never want hosts to go out of the way to make something that we likely wouldn't eat anyway (possible cross contamination issues).

If it's really gnawing at you, you could be proactive and send them an email or call them and say "Hey, I know Larla has a severe nut allergy. We will be serving pizza from Pete's (egg and nut free and no issues), fruit and yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I hope that Larla can eat that, but if not, I wanted to be sure you knew our menu in case you were going to bring food from home."

I hope this helps. Signed, mom of egg and nut allergic kid.[/quote]
