I was also taught to always offer to bring something when going to someone else's house. I definitely see these habits continuing when our baby is old enough for playdates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62195 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:53:32 +0000 Andrea 62195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: that is a really nice idea! </p> <p>@looch: for everyone really. good point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62182 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:07:49 +0000 looch 62182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food for the moms or the kids?</p> <p>It would be super convenient if you had a few things, just in case the moms were out running around. Sometimes we get so focused on our LO's that we forget to feed ourselves, YKWIM? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62105 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:56:01 +0000 Rubies 62105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once a month LO and I have a playdate with four other women and their babies and we each bring something (I always bring a dessert, there's always cheese/crackers/dip, someone brings fruit, etc.). It doens't matter whose house we're doing this playdate at, we all each bring one small thing. Could you maybe suggest something like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62104 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:55:56 +0000 Andrea 62104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: great, if that is how it is done in BK then I will follow suit. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62100 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:26:44 +0000 mrbee 62100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I definitely wouldn't expect snacks as a guest at that time! A bowl of fruit might be a safe compromise... but no need for hors d'oeuvres or anything, I think. At least, in my neck of the woods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62092 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:17:13 +0000 Andrea 62092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I am wondering if it is not really during a meal time. Like maybe 3-5 pm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62088 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:13:27 +0000 mrbee 62088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long are the playdates, and what times are they at? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-play-dates#post-62085 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:11:14 +0000 Andrea 62085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am starting to arrange play dates with some mommy acquaintances so I do not know them that well. Do I provide food/snacks if they come over? If I go to their place, do I bring something? I am not sure of the etiquette and what kind of food is good for play dates? </p>
