AIBU to think this children’s party was a bit over the top?

We went to a 6th birthday today. Bouncy castles,face painting, animal man etc. also a candy floss stand and a popcorn stand. Then it was party food lunch. Afternoon tea style cake stands with sandwiches, cakes, biscuits marshmallows and an additional cupcake tower. Fruit shoots & jugs of squash.Then party games to win lolly pops. Then we took home small sack of pick n mix, chocolate bar and a slice of birthday cake.

My kids eat really quite healthy most of the time with plenty of treats opportunities. I'm not against eating sugar at parties but surely there should be point that maybe you are putting a bit too much on. Yes it's my job to parent. It's not that easy at a party.

I half expected the tortoise and the owl to be decorated in Haribo

I'm an allergy mum so these events can be a bit shit as you spend the entire time saying "ah no, not that, you can have the cucumber stick" but thankfully my dc are very distractible and get bored very easily around food. They would say they'd want a candyfloss, take one bite an run off to do something else, leaving me to eat it (oh what an awful life)
