Ds2 is 2 Sunday, having party in soft play Sunday at 2. Everyone attending will be under 7 so decided against hot food (cocktail sausages/nuggets/chips) as it is an extra €2 (in ireland) and I don't think they will eat that much. Weare bringing in sweets, sandwiches, crisps etc ourselves but now I'm starting to doubt myself. AIBU, should I just ordered the hot food?

Are you allowed to take your own food?

God no, its fine. They don't really care anyway, throw them some tayto and haribo and its all good.

That all sounds fine, if your allowed to take your own sandwiches that's fine

Cold food is fine. Sandwiches, crisps, party rings etc make the archetypal "party tea". At toddler age people often do carrot sticks, grapes, breadsticks round here.

Every year I cut down my party food and there is still always too much. They aren't really interested in actual food or eating. More licking the icing off things.

I can't believe you are not providing a hot meal for these children! Shame on you! At 2 my DS had a 3 course meal, interspersed by the entertainers! I may need less exclamation marks!

It's fine. Hope he enjoys it and happy birthday x

Christ, they're two.

Get some brightly coloured yoghurt and your sorted.

They don't eat in anyway. They just smear it everywhere.

I really wouldn't worry, my 2.5 year yr old dd wouldn't give a damn.

No hot food is fine but are you sure you're allowed to bring your own?

We had sandwiches, houmous, traffic light veg, drink, and cake. Oh and little treats in party bags. That's all. Plenty of food was wasted. You'll be fine.

Sounds totally fine, OP - relax.

I've always done our own food, and you can cut down on waste by doing your own 'party boxes'. Everything individually measured our- and no one misses out on that one item they wanted because another child had 6 of them!!!!!!
