I'd love to, but it's just a recipe for disaster in our family dynamic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party/page/2#post-2546809 Wed, 11 May 2016 22:04:47 +0000 autumnlove 2546809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we always have beer available at home parties! I wanted Hurricanes at LO 2's recent party but ran out of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party/page/2#post-2546780 Wed, 11 May 2016 21:18:49 +0000 Purpledaisy 2546780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I love it when I get to a party or a get together and there are booze! Especially a kid party :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party/page/2#post-2546775 Wed, 11 May 2016 21:11:27 +0000 caterw 2546775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um. Absolutely yes. I would serve beer/wine for any other festive occasion in my house. To me, it's about creating a fun atmosphere for every guest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546624 Wed, 11 May 2016 16:31:57 +0000 meganmp 2546624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear god, yes. They're hanging out with a bunch of kids- they need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546594 Wed, 11 May 2016 15:39:32 +0000 agold 2546594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: I think the same about my husband! I actually don't even know why husbands go to little kid parties unless it was also a party for the adults. If it was some place like a gymnastics party at a gymnastics gym, my husband wouldn't attend. My niece had one there and he didn't go. No dads did. Not even my niece's own dad. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546589 Wed, 11 May 2016 15:36:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2546589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will probably serve it at the parties we host at home. I don't drink beer, so there would have to be some kind of spiked punch. My SMIL makes a great Sangria. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546588 Wed, 11 May 2016 15:35:54 +0000 yoursilverlining 2546588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Champagne at LO's first birthday (it's a celebration!) and we had beer/wine available at her second and third. Will do the same for her 4th as well next month. </p> <p>Most of the kids' parties we've been to served booze of some kind - mimosas if in the AM or a brunch, beer/wine otherwise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546580 Wed, 11 May 2016 15:29:51 +0000 travellingbee 2546580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Home parties- definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546579 Wed, 11 May 2016 15:29:35 +0000 youboots 2546579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: ha, same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546572 Wed, 11 May 2016 15:26:25 +0000 yin 2546572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally we do not provide alcohol. Last month at my LO's birthday party my FIL bought a case of beer since his friend attended. The men were in the backyard drinking and having a good time. I didn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546538 Wed, 11 May 2016 14:51:14 +0000 PinkElephant 2546538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: This. I don't think DH would throw (or go to) a party for kids if he couldn't have a beer or a glass of wine to cope with the chaos. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546512 Wed, 11 May 2016 14:33:10 +0000 Modern Daisy 2546512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally if it was at our house or a venue where we were providing food! Most of our friends would at least grab a wine or beer and I think it makes for a more relaxed atmosphere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546510 Wed, 11 May 2016 14:30:33 +0000 avivoca 2546510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but we don't drink and our families don't really drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546506 Wed, 11 May 2016 14:28:30 +0000 Truth Bombs 2546506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's at home, absolutely.

How else can you tolerate the dynamics of 12 4yrs, their siblings and the parents all at one place?

Once it's their friends and their parents probably not (although with winter birthdays it's probably a moo point because we likely won't be having them at home.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546467 Wed, 11 May 2016 14:01:31 +0000 Meowkers 2546467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546434 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:49:34 +0000 agold 2546434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I'm so glad you laughed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546431 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:48:33 +0000 snowjewelz 2546431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had DD's 1st birthday party so far, and didn't serve any alcohol. It was from 11-2 and mostly families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546411 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:38:58 +0000 FancyGem 2546411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We had 1 party at our house and a family member drank wine that we already had, but we didn't buy it for the party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546397 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:31:54 +0000 nana87 2546397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote because we've done both-- I think it depends. For lo's first bday, it was at our home in the afternoon and we def had alcohol (beer, wine, and cocktails). For her 2nd, we actually had 2 parties: am with lo's friends and parents with no alcohol at a venue, but a 2nd party late afternoon in our home without other kids-- it was for dh and I really as a celebration of our parenting (and to invite our childless friends who we didn't invite to the play gym where lo's "real" party was) so we had alcohol</p> <p>Eta for the parties we've had at home, we serve a mocktail with liquor on the side that people add themselves </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546386 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:27:55 +0000 bushelandapeck 2546386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's at our home, absolutely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546374 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:20:03 +0000 winniebee 2546374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aaaaaabsolutely. Ts birthday party is always a backyard BBQ and beer and wine flows. What's a BBQ without booze!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546372 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:18:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 2546372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>beer and wine yes, hard alcohol no.</p> <p>Although we are going to a 4 year old birthday on Saturday evening, it's a BBQ and with this family I could see hard alcohol being there (the mom only drinks vodka) and it wouldn't seem weird to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546371 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:18:12 +0000 runnerd 2546371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: haha!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546368 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:17:37 +0000 runnerd 2546368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - but it's because most family members on either side don't drink and would be uncomfortable. If we were having a friends only party without our relatives, definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546354 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:14:16 +0000 psw27 2546354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a party for LO yet, but most definitely if it is at our house. He's so young, the party is mostly for the grownups at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546332 Wed, 11 May 2016 13:01:08 +0000 PawPrints 2546332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! Though at DD's first birthday it was just available for people to purchase from the venue, we didn't provide it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-provide-beerwine-for-parents-at-your-kids-birthday-party#post-2546326 Wed, 11 May 2016 12:58:14 +0000 KT326 2546326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband works for a brewery so it is kind of expected! </p>
