The venue provides cupcakes which I was going to decline. Should I get the cupcakes? I figured parents wouldn’t want their kids clamoring for a cake pop and a cupcake.

Get cake pops for the kids and a regular sheet cake for extra sense maybe the kids want seconds too.

This.

Because I hate serving cake. It’s messy and time consuming. And I hate cupcakes with all that icing. I think cake pops are so cute and will go nicely with the theme.

OP, I'd either forego the cake pops, if you don't want to provide them for the adults, and get a regular cake, or make sure you have another kind of dessert for the adults. Provide food for the adults, too.

Yeah, and I think even the anti-carb mommies are more likely to have a "bite" of a cake pop rather than a piece of cake. If you can't afford it for everyone, get a cheaper dessert.

This, they're they perfect portion for little children and starving UMC ladies.

I hate parties where adults all stand around watching kids eat. I went to a party a couple years ago where there were only kids chairs, and only enough for the actual kids. Parents all stood awkwardly in a circle around the kids’ table while they ate pizza and cake. There weren’t even enough drinks for the parents. So weird.

I think it depends on the venue set-up and if parents are sticking around or not. If it's a drop-off party at your home, maybe have some extras for siblings or parents who are so inclined at pick-up if people will be coming into your home to pick up, but it's not necessary. If you'll have some people who'll stay the whole time, I'd have *something* to offer. For my son's last birthday party (at Zava Zone) a fair number of parents stuck around, but probably 3 of the 12 had a cupcake. I liked being able to offer though, and not worry about running out, so I could offer them to siblings who were there for pick-up also.

People here think they're "classy" by saying things they'd never do, meanwhile they're all wearing Old Navy joggers and scarfing down Oreos and Doritos when nobody is looking.

Bring a tray of brownies or cookies and offer to the adults after all the kids have gotten cake pops
