I have never done a kids party and have only been to 1 my OH usually goes and getting info out of him is impossible!
I am having a party for DS1 who is turning 5. Invited whole class only 7 replies. Do i assume the no replies are not coming or coming?
As I don't really know how many kids are coming what do I do about food. I was going to have a long table with the food down the middle and a place set for each kid i.e paper plate/cup/party hat etc. But if I dont know how many are coming I might end up with too many or few places. Is it best to have a buffet table where they can collect their food then a few round tables where they can choose to sit, they sat on the floor at the party I went too.
As for food I was thinking ham sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, crisps, popcorn, fairy cakes and juice. Is this ok or do i need more? Do I need more choices of sandwich? My kids only eat ham or cheese sandwiches so I don't know what other kids this age like?
Should I be providing food for the parents? I was hoping to get away with tea, coffee and biscuits, will they expect more?
Oh god, i'm beginning to think this party was not a good idea I haven't a clue what I'm doing!
