Would you be annoyed if sloppy joes were served at a children's bday party?
We're having DS's 3rd bday at a gymnastics club. We will do 1 hour in the gym then we have 1 hour in the party room. The party room only has a fridge and microwave so I'm trying to think of foods that I can serve that don't require a stove / oven. The obvious answer would be deli meat sandwiches which I'm strongly considering. Another option I thought of would be to make sloppy joes (probably using ground turkey) in a crockpot or electric skillet. I'm concerned that parents will be really annoyed if the kids get messy.
So, would you be annoyed or do you just assume kids will be messy regardless of what they eat?!?
Re: Sloppy joes at a bday party?
I know my kids won't eat sloppy joes so how about crockpot macaroni and cheese?
A would wager that most kids wouldn't eat it, and yes some of the parents would be annoyed by the mess.
I third the pizza. Sloppy joes are, well, sloppy, and my kids wouldn't eat them. DS didn't start liking deli meat sandwiches either until he hit 4.
Mac and cheese in the crockpot might work.
