Kids party related: cupcakes

Do you order enough for the parents too?  And on average....do by parents show up?

I think a lot of this will depend on how old the kids are, what the party is, and how the invite is worded.  It also depends on the relationship with the parents.

The childrens age varies from 1-9 years old. I don't anticipate any parent will just drop them off and we aren't very close with most of the parents as we just don't know them yet. .  I don't recall eating cake at any recent kids party but maybe that isn't the norm. The cupcakes are rather expensive....which is why I question how many to have on hand.

If the parents are staying then you should have something for them.

Yes, count the parents as attending. And order something for them as well.

If cost is a concern, you could always do a store-bought cheesecake with strawberries for the grown-ups.  And keep the cupcakes for the kiddos.  Just a thought.

or give the grown-ups the expensive cupcakes and get the kids a cheap dessert!  j/k

Hi:

The kids will only eat the icing anyways.

Expect 1 parent per kid to stay, at least of the younger kids, and i would think it would be nice to have a dessert for them.  However, now that I'm thinking about it.  I've seen it both ways.  I like it better when there is cake for the adults too.
