I don't expect a snack or cake, but if there's a big bowl of goldfish and a huge sheet cake, I shall partake. went to a party today and there was both goldfish and a huge sheet cake. I enjoyed both.

I will eat if invited to after all the children have eaten. I always plan to feed parents if our party falls over lunch time but I also let them know in advance lunch will be served. I also serve a mix of adult and kid foods. If you came to one of our parties you’d know there was no way we planned on just feeding the kids. We had DD’s party at our local pool and even the lifeguards ate after. I don’t want anyone to go hungry.

I don't expect food, but if I am offered after the kids have had enough I will eat. I think every party I have been to has offered adults food after kids. We are having DD's 3rd Bday at our house on Saturday and have a huge food budget. We will have a ton of food for everyone. There will be Jamaican food.

I can't even answer these anymore as we seem to be in a bubble of "not much food expected unless it's a meal time," while most everyone else is "you have to have pizza no matter what time it is!"
When parents have attended parties at a jumping place or similar, often IF there was leftover stuff someone will ask the parents if anyone wants anything, but it's mainly ordered for kids. Or, will clearly state at the beginning, "Parents, feel free to have some pizza! We have plenty" or whatever. I went to one party recently right over lunch and they made it clear up front that parents would be fed. If it's not made clear I would usually assume I wouldn't be eating.

Not providing food for everyone just does not compute. I feed all the people.
I have been to 1 party where it was a "watch the kids eat" sort of thing and I judged the pants off that family. I had known them for years and was completely thrown by the whole watch the kids eat thing that went down.
