What would you do about this party?

Is the "exception" entree just for dd? I have several realatives/friends who can't don't eat shellfish, so I wasn't sure if PA was the only issue here... Sounds from your message like she just does not like them.

If it is just for dd and for PA, I would bring your own food for her. She will eat it without issue and it will not put your hostess to any trouble.

Can I come? Love crabs!

Regardless of why, I think it is always easier to bring the food for dd and now, ds. I just know I will not have to check labels and feel nervous(unless I choose to once there). You can always pack a little cooler and if you find there is food they can have, great.

I always tell people not to worry about dd, that it is just easier for everyone that we bring her meal. She is used to it and comfortable with that, I add, so they do not feel badly. becca

Yeah i agree with above posts. If it were me i would bring my own food. Better to be safe than sorry, that way if there isnt any food at the party that you feel comfortable with you have a back-up.

I'd bring some of my own food. My son can usually eat some of whatever is being served, but if I have a few things with me, that can round out whatever is being served. I'm usually especially careful to bring a dessert for him. Sometimes we don't use what I bring--depends on the situation once we get there.

I agree with everyone else.

Thank you all so much! I am going to bring my own stuff for her - easier on everybody all the way around.

Thanks again,
Amy
