An etiquette expert reveals whether it’s ever OK to swoop in for kids’ food during festivities.
Davis gave me a nuanced answer. Whether or not parents should expect to eat at kids' birthday parties can depend on the birthday boy or girl's age. "With younger children under 3, hosts should plan to feed adult guests," Davis tells me. "After age 3, when hosts begin to invite the whole preschool class, they might not budget to feed adults as well," she projects.
You can also ask the host what will be served when you RSVP — a good time to share any of your kid's food allergies. While the host isn't obliged to accommodate them, Davis says, a heads up gives you the opportunity to bring an allergy-safe alternative so they don't feel left out.
