I just thought of this but is there alcohol served at little kid parties??? I'm talking beer not hard mixed drinks. Don't remember ever hosting a party without beer before! Her first just got a whole lot cheaper if there's no booze! Haha
-
I have been to baby birthdays where they have beer available; we didn't serve any just to keep the cost down.
-
i think it might depend on the location? like a BBQ style birthday party i can see. we are going to have graysons at our house, so maybe? i'm not sure yet. i'd prefer not too, just because i don't want to pay for it lol
-
Most of them I've gone to have had beer and/or wine available. Although, come to think of it, I rarely actually see people drinking it...
-
If there's not, there should be!
-
Hm. Dang it! There goes the budget!
@sarbear: we should totally invite each other to our LO's party!!!!
-
My family usually does birthday parties on Sunday afternoons, and with my family there is always beer!!
-
it would be alto cheaper if you dont have it
but might be nice for some adults too! lol. i havent been to many lo's birthday parties but the one's ive been to didnt have it.@sarbear: not to threadjack but i love your lo's name!
-
always. Not just beer either - mixed drinks and wine.
-
We more than likely will. DH brews his own beer plus he works for a wine/beer distributor. He gets to pull wine samples every month and out stock grew quite a bit while I was pregnant =)
-
@yoursilverlining: hollllaaaa! now that's what I'm talking about.
It's going to be just like any other party we have-- good people, good food, and good drinks (beer, wine, liquor)!
-
There's always beer at my nephews' parties - except one at a kids gym and the chuck e cheese one - dear lord, those would have been vastly improved by some booze.
-
I've had home parties and served beer/wine, but it's not like anyone drinks a whole lot. You have to watch your kids!
No alcohol at play gyms, but yeah, there really should be. Those parties are a nightmare.
-
the ones at restaurants/homes always have alcohol, but not at parks/play gyms.
-
I would say it's been 50/50 for us. We had some at LO's party for some of our friends but hardly anyone had any.
-
I've never seen alcohol at LO's parties!
-
@Chastenet: Totally agree!
-
@regberadaisy: we should!!
they need to become buds! @stargal: thanks!
-
I didn't think it was this common! Good to know its not taboo.
-
I wouldn't.. never seen a kids party with alcohol and I definitely won't have it at DS's first
-
Our friends ordered drinks at LO's 1st birthday party. We had it at a Brazilian Bbq place and let our guests know they were free to order whatever they wanted to drink.
-
I think it's totally up to you! I've been to many with, some without. I think it depends on your location & your guests. If you know people will be there that go overboard drinking or it's at a play gym or playground then probably best to skip it, if your at home with ppl you'd serve if they came for dinner, then I would.
-
I have been to a ton of kids birthday parties, and have never seen alcohol at any of them! I am shocked that is is that common.
Maybe it is different here in Canada than elsewhere?
-
Every one that I've been to has had beer and wine available...but maybe just me and my friends/fam are booze bags?
-
I think it just depends on your group of friends. I didn't serve any, but dh and I don't drink and neither do most of our family and friends so I wouldn't serve it at my own birthday party either.
-
Always! Kids parties are no fun for adults
If you want to serve something but cut back on the cost, you could serve a punchbowl of something. You'd only be back the $20 or so you'd spend on a bottle.
A lot of our more casual events are BYOB in DH's family. But if I were hosting a party, I'd be sure to have some cases of beer and some kind of fun adult-y punch, set far away from the kids' drinks.
-
I've been to parties with and without alcohol, but mostly usually have at least beer.
-
I'm a big fan of this, I don't really see the big deal but some friend have told me it's weird. So I guess it depends on the hostess.
-
@winniebee: I've never heard the term "booze bags" before. I'm going to start using it =)
but might be nice for some adults too! lol. i havent been to many lo's birthday parties but the one's ive been to didnt have it.
