I feel like if a party is scheduled in between normal meal times you should not expect or be expected to serve a full meal. Snacks and drinks are great
We just did a homemade ice cream bar in summer, definitely wouldn’t have done anything other than snacks or sweet treats. But then again I told most people I was just doing that so they didn’t expect loads of food.
I feel like kids have usually had lunch by that time so maybe just some snack foods?
I usually either do burgers nachos hot dogs fajita tacos for my kids partys
