[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people are getting angry at the OP. She asked a very reasonable question.

Yes, I think that birthday venues should give a better choice for food rather than the standard pizza.  Maybe they can collaborate with the next door eatery/restaurant etc.

I usually have parties at my house because I can serve a proper lunch for the parents as well as pizza for the kids.

There are also some venues that do not have any food but allow you to get food from outside. That allows you to have some sandwich platters and other appetizers brought in from outside as well as pizza and cake.  [/quote]

She didn't ask a question.  She bitched about the pizza she's being served at birthday parties for children.  Which made her sound entitled and obnoxious.

It's terrific that you want to go above and beyond and serve the adults a nice lunch.  I am sure your guests are sincerely grateful and appreciative.[/quote]

Well, it is difficult to figure out just from someone's post what they sound like. I did not find her entitled and obnoxious. I thought that she actually wanted ideas about how to serve more than pizza if parents come to the party.

I actually feel more grateful and appreciative to my guests for showing up to our kids birthday parties.  I am SAHM, but most of my friends are WOHMs and their weekends are super hectic. They have to take out time to come to our MD home from all over DMV, and I am sure it is a hassle.  Asking parents and siblings for the party actually allows all of us to catch up and they have some logistical flexibility too - otherwise, it is difficult to juggle all the kids activities, drop-offs and pick-ups, lunch etc.

Even this works if kids are  ES age or younger. Once they are in MS - these parties stop, because the kids are just not available on the weekends, and usually they just want to take a few friends to a movie or a restaurant.
