My sister's college roommate had Celiac's. My mom used to stop at the local farm market that had a huge selection of Celiac safe foods and get her cupcakes when she bought my sister cupcakes for her birthday. Her friend was so touched my mom would do this.
Now, if you choose this restrictive diet, I say eat before you come.

No. Fuck that guy. And his wife for not telling his dumb ass he's being dumb. I would maybe...MAYBE have some veggies and hummus, but that's it. Otherwise, he could kiss my ass. It's gluten free and vegan.
This is an appropriate thread for TOTS rage. Is she in here? Always around until you need her.
Wait, what? How does even know about Mr. Vegan Gluten-Free's dietary restrictions? Like they rsvp'd and said that the HUSBAND (and not the child) had a dietary restriction? Eat before you go, grown man.

My BFF is vegan and gluten free. Even after 12 years of friendship I have no idea wtf to offer her- like, our birthdays are two days apart so we had a get together and I stuck a candle in some strawberries because

Yes. They included this information in the RSVP.
Omg I missed this part! This is not a wedding, douche!!
Holy shit. No. He would get NOTHING. Every food would have bacon in it out of spite. How entitled!
This is why I always offer with this particular kid. He is also in Scouts with Ds so we are with them a lot. But his amazing mom always insists on sending him with his own meal until he learns better what he can an cannot eat.
Oh, it's not a kid.
It's a fucking parent.
Who doesn't have Celiac.
I'd probably be an ass about it and do a GF option and a vegan option...if I was going to do vegan at all (lifestyle choice!) Mr. GF Vegan would have to choose....Gluten or cheese...muah ha ha ha
The GF due to celiacs - 100% ok with accommodating.
I hate these people. The guests. RSVP on time and definitively. Unless it's a serious contact allergy, maintain your own food issues.* Especially if you're the mere relative of the ACTUAL guest, your child.
I'd hand Mr vegan gluten free by choice a banana and tell him to go screw.
*I'm vegetarian and I maintain myself. The only gluten free people I specifically accommodate are my mom (celiac) and bff's sister (celiac). They're the only gluten free people I know. Probably because the gluten free by choice sense my hostility and keep it to themselves.

Yes. They included this information in the RSVP.
Oh shit, you didn't say it was an adult.
I thought it was the kid that was vegan and gluten free.
That's a game changer. Hell no, I wouldn't bend over backwards to accommodate them after they were douchey to put it on the rsvp card.
I would try. One of Henry's friends is allergic to dairy. I've been to several parties recently where the kid has to watch everyone eat pizza and have an icing-less cupcake. If they RSVP to his party this year, I'll have fruit and sandwiches/other things, so he's not left out.

I would accommodate a kid, but no way some douche who expects a special meal at an event he hasn't even fully committed to showing up up.
I might do a veggie plate and some hummus with carrot sticks, but that's about it. I certainly wouldn't order a special pizza for him, or expect other guests to eat crap pizza.
Your friend sounds like she's making a real effort and you know this family won't even bother showing up. Ugh.
i probably would, especially if i really liked those people.
although i suppose i wouldn't invite people i didn't like, right? i guess. so the answer is yes, even though i would gripe about it internally for days.
Mr. Vegan Gluten-Free is the husband of the mother of a school friend.
OMG, it just makes me angry to type that. LOL.
But how does this even come up? Did his wife make it known when she RSVP'd?
