Time of day for bday party???

If you child naps around 1ish, what time did you have his/her bday party?  thanks!

Re: Time of day for bday party???

  • 3pm is typically what we have and what our friends do as well.  However, this year, we did DD's party at 10:30 am and people were leaving at about 1pm to go home for naps.  I really liked that because we were able to just serve lunch and it had an ending time to it.  I have found that the later the party, the longer people tend to linger.  It just makes for a long night sometimes!
  • 3:00 was a good time for us.  I served, pizza, a veggie tray, fruit tray, cake and ice-cream.

  • We usually do 2 or 3 in the afternoon.  But the 10:30 a.m. timing sounds like it might be something to try!
  • I like 3pm.

    As a guest and as a host, I would not like a 10:30am thing.

  • xbrooklyn - It's funny you mentioned that about not liking the time....I thought people might feel that way, so I asked around before finalizing the time and everyone ended up really liking it!
  • Good question!

    a friend is having her son's 3rd b-day party at 2pm. 33 mo old DD still naps - beginning about 2 or 2:30pm. Do I just keep her up for the party so we are there on time, and just let her get crabby and pissy, or do I go late - or not at all

  • My 2 are pretty flexible w/ naps so we are having lunch for Mason's party at Noon and Kaleb's party will be at 2pm and we'll have cake & ice cream w/ snacks instead of a full lunch.
