What would be appropriate to bring over to a dinner gathering (with children)?
I thought-- bring wine, at first, but, with our babies there- I dont know if that would be appropriate. And they told us to ONLY bring what we will drink. They are vegetarians. ..... Do you think I should bring anything?
Answers:
If the children are old enough, bringing a nice healthy snack for them to serve while dinner is getting ready. Or a simple dessert is always good. You might want to check if they eat dairy/eggs--are they vegetarian or vegan?
Simple flowers for the table is also very nice.
you could bring some fun different fruit juices and sparkling water so people can make their own non-alc. drinks.
You might want to ask your hostess if there's anything you might bring, such as a dessert or something. If she/he says "no' then some flowers are in order. If your babies aren't into vegetarian cuisine, then bring something they can eat while there. Most kiddlings like mac and cheese and your hostess has probably already taken it into consideration. If you guys want some wine with dinner, by all means bring something.
I'd skip the alcohol...juices or sodas,flavored waters too..If you need food ideas I'd stick with fruits & veggies & special dips for them.
I see no problem with bringing wine, but you should check with the other parents. If they have concerns, you might discuss concealing the wine or transporting it in another container. If they're really uptight, abide by their rules (it's their house after all), then leave a little early for your favorite steakhouse.
Ask if you can bring a nice loaf of Italian Bread
Ask if anyone else will be drinking
If all else fails, then flowers would be great. Kudos to you for being so thoughtful. : )
pasta
Well, sounds like you'd better bring something you (parents) and your kids can all drink. How about a jug of lemonader or a 2-liter bottle of 7-Up?
bring vegi's and dip for the kids to snack on, and its healthy and good for everyone
Take some sparkling apple juice for the kids and some nice wine for the adults.
A floral bouquet is always lovely, or a wonderful home-made bread.
sparkling fruit juice in a wine bottle
As a nice thought you could take a lovely fruit and veggie platter. Some nicely cut up watermelon, rockmelon, strawberries, grapes, carrots, celery and maybe a dip or some cream cheese. Enjoy!
