[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-- thanks! Neither of the invitations specify and I don't want to ask, so I'll just take some substantial snacks to be prepared. My DD is definitely ready for dinner between 5-5:30, but we can stretch her to 6 when we have to.

Peanut butter crackers is a good idea. Or would that be a no-no to take to a party b/c of peanut allergies?[/quote]

PB crackers are okay but don't open inside the venue without checking with other parents first.  You really don't need to send a child with a severe allergy to the ER to give your child a snack.  If you need to bring PB crackers, just step outside to have them.  We do fruit, cheese crackers, packaged salami/meat snacks or plain crackers, or a hard boiled egg all of which are good enough to get our children through the party to meal time without risking anyone nearby having an allergic reaction.  We just keep an insulated lunch bag in the car with a small blue ice and can get to them quickly if there is signs of a pending meltdown.

As for your original question, my experience is that parties that both start and end between 1-5 may or may not have a meal.  If it starts before 1 or ends after 5, then you can assume that there will be at least a light meal.[/quote]
