Do Take The Time To Thoughtfully Plan The Menu:

The food is central to any party regardless of theme or how many guests. Now that guests are clear on whether they’re coming for a meal, appetizers, cake, or some combination, make sure you have enough food (one piece of cake per guest) and about 12 appetizer servings per guest. If serving the parents drinks (which I personally highly recommend as a frequentour of kids parties) have enough drinks for one beverage per hour. “Purchase about 50 percent more food than you think your guests will eat, but only set out what you need.” It’s great when the food and drink match the theme. “Remember the adults are taking time out of our weekend to bring our kids to your party and had to go out and buy a gift so the least you can do is make sure there’s enough food and drink for us!”
