[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody else have a birthday party in the 1980s? Every party included cake, ice cream, and a drink (Kool-Aid or something similar). Nobody expected a full meal or even snacks. They were at somebody's house, with maybe 10 invited kids; parents dropped us off. It was fun. Obviously times have changed, but when? How? When did people decide that when they're invited to a party they E should EXPECT certain things? [/quote] Who knows? Although I will say that my 1980s and 1990s kid birthday party experiences usually included bowls of potato chips, too. I would not be remotely offended if someone served cake, ice cream, and nothing else at a kids' party, unless the party was over a standard meal time (11-1 ish, or 5-7 ish). In which case, I think it's only considerate to serve a meal. There is more than one way to be hospitable; it does not require serving a full meal at 2:00 in the afternoon. [/quote]
