The play dates I usually have are through my moms group so it can be anywhere from 10-30 kids plus their moms. Usually everyone brings a lunch and I have snacks, water and juice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1026360 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 13:49:50 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1026360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Arab style too haha</p> <p>I've always grown up with feeding people who come into my home.

If it's a larger group, someone always offers to do pot-luck style, which is always nice, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1026123 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 11:04:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1026123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always have food available! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1026109 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 10:54:50 +0000 luckypenny 1026109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My play dates at home are with my best friends who have kids. We used to do snacks in the beginning when we were still getting to know each other, but now we all just help ourselves if we are hungry no matter who's house it is. Whoever is hosting usually feeds all the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1026015 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 10:03:33 +0000 lamariniere 1026015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have something for guests whether it be a play date or other gathering. I make a pretty healthy banana bread that has minimal added sugar. Kids and parents love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1025873 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 07:47:45 +0000 DillonLion 1025873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always put out way too much!</p> <p>@sylvie_b: I want to come to a playdate at your house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1025826 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 05:04:24 +0000 sylvie_b 1025826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our first play date this week and I ordered some snacks and sweets from our neighborhood bakery/cafe, placed them on our counter and encouraged our guests to snack if they were hungry. No pressure and the emphasis was on our LOs and it turned out great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024623 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:16:29 +0000 Mrsbells 1024623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh i see.. that makes sense </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024567 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:04:48 +0000 Andrea 1024567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have food (depends on time of day as to what) and people reciprocate. I also think it is rude not to have anything available. You never know if people might be hungry, especially little kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024555 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:02:27 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1024555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, always. It feels wrong to have guests and not serve them anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024546 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:01:04 +0000 mrbee 1024546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Maybe because then they feel like they need to reciprocate when we visit them?</p> <p>It's just a cultural thing for us to feed our guests... but if someone doesn't seem comfortable with it, we don't do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024540 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:00:20 +0000 GrapeCrush 1024540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rarely have play dates, but I always try to make sure we have snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024524 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:57:42 +0000 Freckles 1024524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, i usually have food.

I rarely have play dates at our house though because we have a big dog and some kids are scared of her. </p> <p>At play dates I've been to some serve snacks to just the kids and today one served us lunch, and we made cookies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024420 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:32:21 +0000 chopsuey 1024420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Mm. I'll probably have to tailor to our guests as the kids get older too. Korean style is all about stuffing food in people's faces though. Haha. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024400 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:24:11 +0000 mrbee 1024400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do but I noticed it makes some people uncomfortable... so now we tailor snacks/foods to our guests! Sometimes we bust out snacks and sometimes we don't!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-host-play-dates-at-your-house-do-you-serve-snacksfood#post-1024367 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:17:07 +0000 chopsuey 1024367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do.<br /> I like feeding people :) </p> <p>We had 2 play dates this week! Was too lazy to prepare food so I had food delivered. </p>
