Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Speaking of party times and food...

We are planning on a 1-3 party. If you went to a party at that time would you expect lunch or would cake and apps. be ok?

Re: Speaking of party times and food...

  • Is there a way to include "light refreshments and cake to be served" on your invite?
  • Either would be fine to me.. I went to a Bday party a few weeks ago from 12-3 and we just had Cake and Icecream!

  • We like to call it "heavy apps" when we do a function at our school. We won't do full out meal, but lots of little things.

    I'm designing them myself so it could be possibly put on there.

  • 1:00 I would think some sort of lunch type food. However I have been to parties at that time when it was just snacky type food as well. I agree with Howa and would try to put it on the invite if possible.
  • you could always do little sandwiches, think tea party type.

    I have noticed that many come to parties expecting to be fed regardless of time (which is odd to me).  So I always put this on DD's invites so people know to eat ahead of time if they are really hungry :)

  • I'd expect lunch.  But, if the invitations told me in advance that it was just going to be cake and snakes, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

    I think you just need to manage expectations. 

  • Our theme is Very Hungry Caterpillar so the foods will be what is in the book modified. There will be fruit and little sandwiches etc.

     That should have been snacks.  Cake and snacks.  But, if you send me an invitation for "cake and snakes," I would be very intrigued. 

  • I would never go to a party and expect a whole meal.

    I would think a few snacky things and cake, especially for 1-3.

    Cute theme!

  • How about "Nibble on Sebastian's favorite snacks?"

    Maybe that will let them know it'll be light.

    MIL wanted me to put that lunch will be served on the invite. I told her that it's 12-2. There will be a ton of food. I'm not going to implicitly state it because everyone invited knows me and knows I always cook/bake a ton of food.

  • I would expect lunch unless otherwise specified.
  • I would expect lunch. Sandwiches would be a great idea.
  • I would expect lunch. IMO any party where gifts are being given the guest should receive a meal.

    cakes and snakes would not be that far fetched when he gets older. A friend of mine had a reptile "petting zoo" at her son's 5ht birthday. I just think cakes and snakes sounds hilarious.

  • We're doing T's party during that timeframe and we're doing a taco bar, so it will be a full lunch with cake for dessert.
