[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4 y.o. went to a party that was 12:30-1:45.  There was a 45 min activity and then 30 mins in the party room. There were 7 kids. All they had in the party room was cake.  Luckily I had feed DC before we left, bc I was feeding my younger child (who was staying home), but I was really surprised.  Not horrified, not "steaming" but surprised.  1 pizza would have covered all 7 kids.

We also had 30 mins in the party room but since there was only cake, it took less than 10 mins and then all the kids were basically sitting around with nothing to do.  I dont think the parents were being cheap, but I do think it was poor planning, especially bc there was no indication that food wouldnt be served.  It really was just lucky that he ate ahead of time, bc I assumed there would be food at the party. [/quote]

My kids party was similar to this but they didn't go into the party room until 1:30. I didn't "choose" the time frame it was the only one the place had available. I think that is way to late to "wait" for lunch so I served a snack (fruit,cheese, crackers) to the kids before the cake. I also put a note in the invitation with this information. I hope parents read it and fed their kids lunch first. Not much more one can do to address the food issue. I've done pizza in the past and find I end up paying 50-60$ for pizza for the kids and parents and we end up taking most of it home and it goes to waste(kids-party 15-20 kids plus adults)[/quote]
