Providing food to parents at a kids party?
I just had a kid's party for my 7 yo ds on Saturday at dinnertime. I ordered enough pizza for all the kids and parents. Maybe half the parents ate, and I had like 2.5 pies left over.
So I would order enough pizza for all the adults, but don't be surprised if it doesn't all get eaten! <shrug>

I also say yes, but if a lot of them are going to your house after I would just do some bagels with cream cheese and maybe some veggie/meat options if they want to make a sandwich. I would offer something light. You don't need to do pizza. Even snacks like veggies and dip, fruit, or a meat tray would be fine.

Re: Providing food to parents at a kids party?
I just have to say that I'm surprised that most people feel like they're obligated to feed parents for a party that is just 1.5 hours. As a parent, I wouldn't expect a meal for myself at a child's birthday party. I just feel like the children are the guests, not the parents. Should the parents get goody bags too? Lol
Now this is not to say that I wouldn't ever provide food for parents at my kid's party, I just wouldn't expect it if my child was a guest at a party.

I agree. I never go to a party where my child was the invited attendee and expect them to feed me. If they offer, great.

Funny, I never got invited to a party and not been given food. I didn't even think that it was a question on whether or not you fed the parents.

Re: Providing food to parents at a kids party?
Yes. Get some pizzas (or even bagels). Most will just have one slice since they will be worrying about feeding their kids, etc. I think its the norm so ppl expect it. I've heard when you don't have food they don't realize and they eat the pizza meant for the kids anyway.
