Before we moved I hosted morning playdates but all the kiddos were infants who didn't need snacks. I usually had light refreshments for the adults- coffee/juice and banana bread and fruit or something like that. Now that my LO takes regular AM/PM naps, the playdates I've attended are late afternoon- like 3:30-4:40-ish. I don't know that I'd provide snacks at that time of day right before dinner. I'd say it depends on the time of day and the crowd/ages of kids.
