Kid Party
Hi
I haven't been around in forever, hi all! Planning a kids party, age 3 to 6. Do cold sandwiches (meat & ch, PB&J) cut into cute shapes, tuna salad, deviled eggs, chips and dip, cupcakes and brownies sound OK, or do I need to grill up some hot dogs or burgers too? (Juice, soda and milk) Of course I need to feed the kids' parents also, so I was going to do a fresh fruit salad, nice breads, coldcuts and maybe a seafood salad. At a noon party for 3-6 year-olds, with swimming, can I skip alcohol? Or do just wine? I have no idea how many people. I'm off for the summer, my son misses his friends from daycare, so we're having a party. Thanks! Tara pridy@andthentherest :-) |

> just wine? NO alcohol at a kids party.. even for the parents.. let them drink ice tea. Sipping wine and driving kids is not a good idea. In this state (TEXAS) if you get caught dui..low limit too.. (.08) with kids in the car, the state can take your kids away. |

But as for the alcohol... if it's a kids' party at noon, I don't think the parents would expect it anyway, so you could probably give it a miss.

By all means if you want - I would have iced tea (at least 2 kinds) How about some iced coffee & put out a bottle of Bailey's - that's about all you'll need. Maybe some NA beer ( O'Dools) after all the parents are driving their Kids. Dimitri |

(Juice, soda > and milk) That's as far as you need go for _all_ party attendees. The PB&J cut into shapes will fascinate the kids and it will also keep the costs down. The meats and cheeses can be put out on different plates, with little bowls of condiments and a more solid bread (Dutch Crunch, Sour Dough, sweet French rolls) for the adults to build their own. If you want to offer an additional choice, a spring mix salad with a light vinaigrette will do. We also do cupcakes for every party. The kids slather and pipe on their own icings and fancy sprinkles. This has always been a big hit. The cake (or brownies) was left untouched the two times we made the mistake of adding it to the mix. Beware over-complicating the fare; kids won't eat it and the adults will tend to limit themselves. As far as alcohol... That's a personal call. At clan parties, we offer beer and wine for the adults but only iced tea and coffee at kid parties. Most people are ultra-conservative when they're at kid parties. The Ranger |

Other kids must like them  We actually took our toddler to a kids' party a few weeks ago. The hostess had made little "party-packs" for each child that contained some sweets, a packet of potato chips (crisps) and a a sucker or two, with some "fake" eggs made out of some sort of sugary stuff. The kids loved them. The birthday cake was cool too. Great-grandma had made it and it had purple icing with Smarties and stuff. We enjoyed a the cake too! <grin> Cheers Cathy |

These days it is a good idea to skip the peanut butter, just in case there is one of those people who reacts violently to it. Kids love hot dogs and pizza, so stick with that. I was wondering why you had the parents coming too, until I saw the mention of swimming. If you are counting on parents watching the kids I would suggest you do not bother with any form of alcohol. |

Kids parties, swimming and alcohol are a bad mix. If she starts feeding them wine or beer they are likely to start socializing with each other and neglect the kids. |

(This is RFC so I don't know what came over me - sheesh!).... I have nothing against a few drinks... but when I drink, it's generally at home, therefore I don't have to drive anywhere. And if I have a few drinks elsewhere, I don't drive. I get someone to drive me, or I stay over. Cheers Cathy |

In fact, sounds like too much to me. I'd skip the tuna salad and deviled eggs. Don't give them too many choices. > Of course I need to feed the kids' parents also, so I was going to do a > fresh fruit salad, nice breads, coldcuts and maybe a seafood salad.

(Juice, soda and milk) I would skip the grilled stuff. If there'll be swimming, you'd probably be better off tending to the pool than the grill -- it would be great if you could assume the parents will be watching their kids in the water, but if it was my house, I wouldn't make that assumption. tuna salad & devilled eggs -- I wouldn't go to that trouble. Although some kids like them, not all do, and when we have parties, I notice that most kids are just too excited to eat much. So stick to the common denominators. Individually wrapped string cheese sticks are popular and easy. dessert...I wouldn't bother w/ ice cream. Cupcakes will be fine. If it's really hot out, popsicles or freeze-pops might be a hit and would be easier than ice cream. > > Of course I need to feed the kids' parents also, so I was going to do > a > fresh fruit salad, nice breads, coldcuts and maybe a seafood salad. Sounds great!! At the kid parties I've been to, the kids usually eat some fruit, too. > At a > noon party for 3-6 year-olds, with swimming, can I skip alcohol? Or > do > just wine? Yeah, skip it. Get a few coolers -- fill one w/ sodas, one w/ bottled water, and one w/ juice boxes (small ones, as kids will drink a little bit, wander off, and lose track of their drinks...come to think of it, so will the adults!!) > > I have no idea how many people.

Even if you did your best to keep them separate, there is no guarantee that some wouldn't come into contact with something the allergic child ate. I think I would serve juice, perhaps lemonade.. but not soda to that age group. An idea for the cupcakes.. cook them in the ice cream cones with the flat bottom. Fill them about 2/3 full. They will expand and have a round top over the cone. Make 7 minute frosting and swirl the cooled cones in it. They will look like soft ice cream cones. The kids can grab them and run. Children love those things. :-) >> >> Of course I need to feed the kids' parents also, so I was going to >> do a fresh fruit salad, nice breads, coldcuts and maybe a seafood >> salad.

Kids of that age 3-6 are not "incumbent" to do anything, Greg. They want what they want and I'm sure it's incumbent on the parents, not the kids. Having said that, I don't know if it's media exposure or what, but I sure never heard about peanut allergies when I was a kid that age. No one hesitated to serve PB&J to kids. No one had to worry about peanuts (or "peanut dust") in a lunchbox or on an airplane. So <shrug> I dunno. Of course, when I was a kid not every friend was on Ritalin and diagnosed with ADHD, either. Reeses Pieces, anyone? Jill |

Of course, when I was a kid not >> every friend was on Ritalin and diagnosed with ADHD, either. Reeses >> Pieces, anyone? >> I think the reason we didn't hear about things when we were kids was because there wasn't the big movement then that all kids should be able to attend school safely, whether they be developmentally handicapped or have an allergy. As with other things, these rights will expand to other public places as well, such as restaurants. It is just a matter of time. There was just a piece on CNN earlier today about the increase in food allergies and the potential for anaphylactic shock with nuts. There is a move on for tougher regulations on listing food ingredients and removing all food products from schools that contain nuts, traces or nuts or can't be guaranteed not to have any. People are free to do what they like. I just put out my opinions. The thing is, for myself anyway, should a kid die from coming into contact with nuts at my house, I would have a tough time getting over it.. whether it was the kids parents responsibility (and not mine) or not. I knew someone who would react just from walnut shells being in the trash about 3 feet from her. Debbie |

In most cases I would agree, but for some reason, some people are extremely sensitive to peanuts. |

I'd alsoskip the alcohol all together. I'm not much of a drinker to begin with, but people drinking while monitoring 3-6 yr olds in a swimming pool just sounds like a bad idea to me.

wow, I got no replies
today is the big day we have BBQ chicken for kids, Sabbretts, devilled eggs with and without, chips and dips, fresh fruit, Willy Wonka chocolate cake with purple goo, spicy wings, veggie kabobs with squash, zucchini, red pepper and onion in balsamic vinegar, S&P and a dash of Tabasco, go-gurts, ice pops, every tupe of soda. Upsettingly, no one RSVPed from my son's school. Other families had the same thing happen this summer. I guess people are just busy. (We live 1 1/2 hours from the shore) For fun we have the pool, face pants, water balloons, twister and some other stuff.

> wow, I got no replies Are you sure? I remember replying to this thread. You might check Google. > today is the big day > we have BBQ chicken for kids, Sabbretts, devilled eggs with and without, > chips and dips, fresh fruit, Willy Wonka chocolate cake with purple goo, > spicy wings, veggie kabobs with squash, zucchini, red pepper and onion in > balsamic vinegar, S&P and a dash of Tabasco, go-gurts, ice pops, every tupe > of soda. Sounds good. > Upsettingly, no one RSVPed from my son's school. Other families > had the same thing happen this summer. I guess people are just busy. (We > live 1 1/2 hours from the shore) Buddy (DS) has a summer birthday, and I also got tired of people not letting me know if they're coming. Just seems like folks don't have manners anymore. I didn't bother with RSVPs this year -- not even paper invitations; just called each kid and asked their parents myself. We got a great turn out. > For fun we have the pool, face pants, water balloons, twister and some other > stuff. I hope that's supposed to be "face paints"... ;-) -- Jani in WA (S'mee) ~ mom, VidGamer, novice cook, dieter ~ |

So I took it to meaning no replies here. Debbie |
