Just a little school birthday party advice from a teacher
Please find out how many children are in your child's class and count how many cupcakes/munchkins you have. Then buy accordingly. We all know 1 mini cupcake or 1 munchkin doesn't quite cut it. So if you want the children to have 2 or even 3 munchkins, please buy enough. Same with juice boxes. On behalf of elementary teachers everywhere, we thank you!

Just a little school birthday party advice from a teacher
Amen..and if it's financial, I'd almost rather not do snacks at all..plenty of children don't send and we wish a happy birthday and it's ok...

And may I also add that when it's possible, please send in the same favors and colors. It never fails that if there are 10 chocolate and 10 vanilla cupcakes there will be 11 children who want a particular flavor, leading to tears.

ITA! I was in a Kindergarten class once for a birthday and the birthday child brought in a few variety boxes from Dunkin Donuts. It wasn't pretty!

My ds teacher this year doesn't let kids bring stuff in for that reason. She does a birthday book instead

LOL ITA with both!! Munchkins are killer although they seem so easy! Sprinkles and chocolates go fast  The problems these little ones have I'm actually thankfully our school policy no longer allows food for b-day celebrations!

I wouldn't mind a no food party policy. Makes it easier!

Just a little school birthday party advice from a teacher
I was shocked when my class this year actually told me they LIKED jelly munchkins!!!
Another piece of advice...normally, jelly donuts and jelly munchkins are NOT popular!
