[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity, I just asked my mom if I ever went to a cake only party. She was shocked I was even asking about this, as it was never a thing growing up. (I'm 34) She said all the parties I attended and hosted always had food, snacks, candy, and cake. She thought I was planning on hosting a cake only party and nearly ripped me to shreds. I had to let her know I was doing no such thing. And neither should you, OP. It's in poor taste. [/quote]

Were the parties your mom is referring to ones where the families were also invited? Like a backyard BBQ type of thing? Or a moms playgroup for babies and toddlers?  I ask because my mom would hardly know what food was (or wasn't) served at any birthday party I went to at the time of the party, much less 20-30 years later. I know I don't ask my kids what food was served after every party they attend. [/quote]

No, they weren't bbq's or big family get togethers, they were either at play places or people's homes and according to her, parents were always encouraged to stay or if they came towards pick up time they were offered a bite as the kid got ready. I know she always asked us if we ate after any type of play date with friends, just to make sure we weren't ravenous, so I'm sure she did this after parties as well. [/quote]
