Sunday parties

Is Sunday at 3pm too late to start a birthday party? Or is 2pm better? I'm so late in planning now, I only have Sunday times to choose from. I'm totally bummed I can't get Saturday but its my fault... where does time go?

I think Sunday at 3:00 would be fine. Unless you are planning to throw down, with your 40 oz and a few shots of Jaeger, then it might be best to get an early start.

I don't think 3:00 would be a problem at all.

I'm assuming the party will be about 2 hours long, yes?  If so, I think that 3 PM would be fine. 

Do R or P take naps at 3 PM, though?

I think 3 is fine. ?:)

I would think 3 pm would be fine since it would probably last a couple of hours at most?

No big kegger, just milk & cookies CG - the kids nap anywhere between 11-3pm... so nap time is ok, it just seems so late. I will have to make sure I am more prepared in the years to come to have a location nailed down before the holidays!! Oy vey.

We're doing it at 1:00pm because of the whole daylight thing...people are having to drive from a ways away, so we're trying to give them more day time. E also doesn't nap on any kind of schedule, so we couldn't plan around that.

I'd go for 2:00pm.

I think either time is good.  You will have naptime to prep/get ready which is nice.

I think 3 would be better than 2 b/c a lot of babies/toddlers I know sleep after lunch so by moving it to 2 you're more likely to shorten a lot of naps. Both my kids sleep from 2-4:30 so I could easily put them down a little early and still get a decent nap.


and seriously..where did time go??? Seriously...1st birthday party, already? geesh!

I think both times are fine. 3pm is always a better time for us as far as nap planning goes but either would be fine.

2 or 3 on any day would be nap time for most kids though - that's what I would worry about.

 

We're doing a Sunday party for Ben but at 10AM...

3pm on a Sunday would be a great time with our schedule. Can't believe R is turning one, that's CRAZY! Have fun!

3 pm on Sunday is totally fine!  You can't try to plan the party around everyone else's nap schedule.  As long as it is a good time for Ryan, I say go for it!!!

 Uh, I am so behind on party planning.  I just needed to get past xmas first, before I could even begin to focus on birthday.  Not to mention, I am totally dragging my feet on this because I can't believe my baby is going to be ONE!

It feels like I was just reading Ryan's birth story last week!
