A fancier party might have District Taco and Nothing Bundt Cakes little cakes.

I don’t this Costco looks cheap. If you are wealthier than neighbors and classmates I think it’s better to serve Cost o than to


. . . Than to look like you are trying to hard / spending a ton on a kid party.


Yes, and I swear I have always said to my husband, “I do not get AT ALL why people love NBCs. I get it, they are cakes, they are in a cute Bundt pattern, their flavors are yummy, what am
I missing???”


IMHO, Costco cakes or homemade cakes are equally tasty or tastier so if I see someone serving NBCs at a child’s party instead of Costco, I think they are stupid and pretentious.

I wouldn't eat Costco pizza either. I'm a NYer and hate crappy pizza.

Lifelong New Yorker here. Pizza is my favorite food, I eat NY pizza at least once a week, and I absolutely love Costco pizza. It's a different thing, but it is very yummy

Being snobby and dismissive doesn't bolster your claim that you're some kind of expert.


I'm not being snobby. I ate it once and found it disgusting. Hey, if I don't eat it, more for you, right?


You called it crappy. Have you heard the phrase, don't yuck someone else's yum? That's what you did. So, yeah. I'm glad there's more for me.


Whatever. I called it crappy on an anonymous online forum. I'd never say a negative thing to any host who served it or to anyone in person who raved about how much they like it.

Of course it’s fine. I can’t believe this is even a question. You don’t need to break out a red carpet and catered 6 course meal for a child’s birthday.

Went to a party recently and they had Costco pizza, a flat of the snack size pringles cans, and a few boxes of chips ahoy cookies, soda. These were wealthy people. It looks cheap and trashy to serve guests only garbage foods

A wrap tray is no better lol


What do you recommend for a children’s party?

It was a kids party? These are kid party food Thurston. Have your butler take your kid.


Except it isn’t a kids party if you are expecting parents to stay and wanting to feed them too. Then it is a family party and there should be other food. Especially at a pool party where kids are playing a lot and very hungry. They should also have something to eat besides pizza, chips, cake, and repeat

Wrong! We love this because now we have an excuse to eat things we “shouldn’t”. I love some Pringles.
