[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a ton of food at our sons party last night and it was enjoyed by parents and kids. No idea why people think it’s fine to completely ignore that parents are there and may want to eat? If parents are expected to stay they should be offered food and beverages. We had chicken tenders, a veggie plate, pizza (ordered 4, we came home with one whole pizza minus 1 slice), fruit skewers, watermelon and cake plus tons of lemonade, water and seltzer. I’d say the parents/babysitters are as much as the kids (as they were mostly standing/sitting around the food and kids were running around playing). 
It cost me maybe $150 for everything, I prepped the fruit and veg just before and cooked the chicken (from Trader Joe’s). Pizzas were $70 and I’d generously estimate $80 for everything else. [/quote]

Pretty much similar cost for me too for food - I think I spent $15 on water bottles and coke for grownups, $10 on individual kids juice,  $20 on snacks, $10 on a fruit tray which I made, $25 on cupcakes so around $80 for these and then $100 on pizza (I ordered 8) so about $180 to feed 25 people. We had 3 pizzas leftover so I guess I could say $150 for food and water. We did spend $120 on goody bags and decoration so in the end we spent about $300 for a home party. A venue party would cost $600 for 20 kids with food just for kids. I do agree that adults should not expect to be fed at venue parties if the kids are drop off age. Otherwise, it wouldn't hurt to do the pizza add on for $50 (which we did when we had a venue party and kids were not drop off age)[/quote]
