Frequently Asked Questions
How much do kids actually eat at parties?
Kids ages 4-10 typically eat 1.5 slices of pizza OR 1 hot dog, plus one cupcake. They're usually more interested in playing than eating!
Should I plan food for adults too?
Yes! For kids under 7, most parents stay. Plan adult portions for about half the number of kids invited.
