[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12-year-old wants a Tater Tot Bar at her birthday. Which fixins would you include, besides sour cream, chili, scallions, and ketchup?[/quote]

Don't forget to tell your guests that is on the menu.  Some kids won't like just tater tots fyi[/quote]

By 12, kids should learn to be polite and eat what's served. Out of a bar like this I'm sure even the pickiest eater can find something.[/quote]

To me this sounds delicious, but if you do like not tator tots, the rest are toppings.  So what would the kids eat?  The hot sauce?  Ketchup?  A bowl of melted cheese?   The point of saying the menu is not so parents can ask you to change it, it’s so parents know whether to drop off a hungry or full kid.  It does not cost the OP anything to mention tator tot bar in the invite.

Plus, most kids are great at politely not eating.  But this is always followed by parents insisting they kid eat or questioning them relentlessly why they are not eating or barely eating.  [/quote]

You get what I was trying to say.    I always write the menu so parents and kids know.  I'm not telling them what to serve or worry that kids will 'starve' or not be polite.    My question is why not do this as a courtesy.[/quote]

I don't think it's a big deal. Does the host have to write down all the activities and flavor of cake as well so nobody gets surprised? It's probably a 2 hour party. At 12 the kids probably know each other well and the birthday girl will probably tell her friends anyways. I don't think there is an expectation that every party comes with an itinerary and menu as a courtesy. [/quote]
