Playdate etiquette

[SpecialHandsMummy]

My 3yo dd has been invited to her first playdate. What's normal to do? Should we bring something along? Is it over the top if my dh and I both stay? Any recommendations/advice welcome!

Thanks

Yes bring some biscuits and only one of you take her. If the mum invited you, you should go not dh!

Will the other dh be there? If not then def not your dh. If it's a weekend and the other dh will be there, then the other mother might be seeing it more as a family gathering. I'd need to know first I think.
If it was just the dm, I wouldn't dream of taking dh and I'm sure he could find something better to do than listening to 2 women chatting

I always take biscuits with me! Although not chocolate ones anymore after a mum I didn't really know vocally disapproved once and I haven't been asked back

mmmicecream If you brought chocolate biscuits to my house you'd be invited every week!

I agree, don't bring DH. A woman I know never leaves hers behind and they are the unwitting object of ridicule and pity.

You don't need to take anything, but if you do then something special (either because DD made them, or because you got them at a vair vair naice artisan market perhaps) is better than a packet of normal custard creams.
