Moving Update

Just want to say congrats on the new house! :hug::hug:
I dunno, I might serve beer and wine with a limit of 2? Of course have lots of non alcohol options. Dads like beer. :: especially if mom is driving.

I have a few events a year, but I never thought to serve beer, alcohol or wine. Partly because it's for the kids and partly because of the expense. Not to mention that you probably do have liability if someone drinks too much and something happens, though I would imagine that's fairly unlikely:confused:

For winter, I do a mulled cider, non-alcoholic, and the kids can have juice boxes (we never drink juice or use juice boxes except at events, so they're considered a huge treat) or juice mixed with sparkling water. I also make a couple of large pitchers of ice water with orange, lemon and lime slices.
I used to do soda, but people got picky about what type they wanted and I didn't want to buy a dozen kinds for a dozen and a half people

For summer, I used to do soda too, but now I do only juice for the kids and the ice water with fruit slices in big clear containers with spigots.

It's cost effective, and not one person ever commented on the change

how else are they going to be able to tolerate their kids.......... JK

They won't have to.... you'll be there to do it for them.

Maybe it's the people I know but I've been to lots of kids' parties where alcohol was served. Baby showers, Bday parties, Chuck E Cheese, etc. Sure it's for the kids but that doesn't mean you have to exclude the parents and only serve mini water bottles and juice boxes. The liability issue is probably the biggest worry, but if they got pulled over and got a DUI, I don't think the police would be knocking on your door. Every adult has the choice to drink alcohol or not. They could be loaded before they step foot in your door. KWIM? I wouldn't be too paranoid about it personally.
