Child's birthday party - would it bother you?

[User171762]

If your child was invited to a birthday party where there was no food other than cake (and juice)?

I'm thinking of booking a specific activity for my child's birthday party but there isn't any food, you can bring a cake and party bags for when the children are leaving but buffet style food not allowed due to the type of place.

It would be until 12pm so not past dinner time strictly.

I think it looks good fun and the kids would enjoy it but my family member commented what about food and now I'm wondering if its a problem?!

Fwiw, it's in our local town so not much travelling for any of the invitees.

I think it's fine. It's only 1.5 hours and child can manage that long surely without food. Probably state that on the invite though. I like the picnic box on the way out. - cake, juice and a Sandwich or pot of fruit sounds fine.

But some mum will undoubtedly be having conniptions about her child having cake before lunch.

If it's wrapped or in the party bag then the parent can take it for after lunch
