Play date question/help? X/P

jastl32 · April 2011

I'm taking DD to a play date tomorrow with another baby from her daycare. I don't really know the family, but we've been emailing.

What's the etiquette on play dates? Is there something I should bring for them to play with or expect it to all be there (it's at their house)? Also - do I bring a gift or something for them since they are hosting? I don't want to be rude. And, if so - what do you suggest bringing?

Wine.

J/k I've hosted many playdates and no one has ever brought anything. I don't think its necessary. However if someone had brought me cookies, I wouldn't be sad.

When we do playdates it's usually with just one other Mom and baby. If we go to their house I bring coffee and donuts because its usually in the morning.

Oh dear...I just usually show up with the baby! I think I offered to bring stuff once or twice, but each time the mom in question had everything taken care of.

I should start hosting playdates.
