[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks.  I'm thinking 3:30. [/quote]

The problem with that is it pushes some kids into dinner time.  So, you're done at 5:30.  I would not want my kid eating cake at 5 PM.  You need pizza.   My child often eats at 4:30 or 5 weekdays (weekends are more flexible but he's starving by then) to get to later activities.  I have pulled my kid early from parties as he was hungry and there was no food.  Once, we left and came back as it was a longer party.   You may not like the food, I may not like the food, but be decent and get a few pizza's.  Juice (which we don't drink so please have water too) and cake at 5:30 is not the greatest plan.  At least warn people so we'd plan our evening to stop immediately after the party to eat.[/quote]

The parties at these places are literally 1.5 hours long, 2 max.  If your kid cannot go that long without food, you are doing something very, very wrong.  My kid hates pizza and goes to parties at lunch time that only have pizza, and he somehow manages to survive.  [/quote]

Then you feed them before you go.  We're on the go a lot and I'm not dealing with a starving kid who only had, at best cake (most of the time he will not eat if its too sweet).  I have no issue stopping and feeding my kid, but that means we may miss half the party.[/quote]
