We've done that for years, worked fine. Usually, a few 'illegal' (over age 14) teens straggle by late and we tell them to take everything that's left.
But, for the last few years, the neighborhood has been running a big T-or-T hayride. Homeowners sit at the end of their driveway and pass a bucket around among the kids on the long, open trailers. That'll work for us ...but I wouldn't want to be on that trailer.
Still, I think the big spreaders will be teen/adult house parties.
