Paying on a kids birthday (lemmy.world)

My wife says if we invite our friends and their 3 year olds to my childs birthday at a restaurant that its customary to pay for everyone. Is this reasonable?

That probably varies based on local culture. But I've never lived anywhere that it's not the norm that unless otherwise stated in the invitation, the host is paying for the party.

These things can get pricey so I think it's reasonable to say something like "pizza and drinks for the kids".

Yeah, just have to be up front about it so people know what to expect.
