Last minute party questions

1. Favors - do you have them set out at the start of the party sort of on display, or do you set them up towards the end?

2. Cake - do you only count the # of kids in your planning, or kids + adults.  I always plan kids + adults because DH and I ALWAYS eat cake at children's parties, but I notice that other parents don't seem to touch the cake.

Thanks!  :-)

    If the gift bags are cute, I would put them out on display near your exit.  Unless you think they would be too tempting.

    I would count adults for the cake.  Better to be safe than sorry, I think.  And if there are leftovers- I'll bet you could handle them.  (Or send them home w/ people?)  :)

    Have fun!!!  Let us know how it all went!

    I would display the favors since if they are cute they can double as decorations.  Plus, that way you won't forget to give them out.  I would just make sure they are out of reach of the kiddos.

    Definitely count adults for cake.  I always eat the cake.  I don't trust anyone who doesn't eat the cake. (ha, ha)

    I usually put them out because if I don't I've been known to forget to hand them out!

    I do count adults too but we always end up with leftovers.

    1. I would set up the favors now just in case some people sneak out early and you forget to hand them out.

    2. As far as cake, I always include adults in the count. Smile

    Have a GREAT party & can't wait to hear & see all about it! Wink

    I agree w/pp - definitely put the favors out and include the adults in the cake count. We always have leftover cake too, but both DH and I eat cake at parties (he always says he only want "a bite" but I refuse to share my piece so he has to have his own, LOL) so think it's safer to include grown-ups in the count.

    I always eat cake too! But I would say NONE of the adults at Ryan's party ate cake. :(

    For favors, I had them out as they were part of the decor.

    Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
