Would you go to a birthday party on a Sunday night @ 5:30?

StarryNight39

I suck and waited to long to book Ava's party @ Pump It Up and they have slim pickings. My pretty much only option is a party the first weekend in June @ 5:30 on a Sunday night. 

Party is 2 hours long and will be over by 7:30 - would you go?

firefightersgal

Yes.

xbrooklyngrl

yep I would. I went to a KIDS 1st & 2nd party at 8pm on a Saturday a few weeks ago, we didn't get out until 10:30. It was at a bounce place too and was so much fun despite my bitching about the time.

I would. It's not like the party is going to end at 10pm-kwim? It still gives people time to get their kids home and in bed by 8:30.

 However; I'm a little unconventional and we usually have our birthday parties on Sundays at 4 pm b/c DH works a lot of Sundays from 11-4 and I want him to be home for the parties. (He works Saturdays 8a-6p so Saturdays really aren't an option).

Zenya

no.  really bad time, imo

JOEBunny

No.  My kids go to bed at 7.  I am not much of a scheduler, but they need to go to bed at 7.

If I were a family member, probably.  But I probably wouldn't be happy about it.  If I were just a friend, no.  My kids would be too riled up just before bed--it would make for a miserable evening for all of us.

No.  My kids are in bed 7:30/8pm, so it would have the potential to be a crabby time.  Plus, we eat at 6, so it would be a late dinner for us too.  Not usually a problem, but if they were being so active before it, I could see some major meltdowns.  Also, I like my Sunday evenings to myself, at home.

TheNextWest

I would. That wouldn't get my kids wired before bed, it would wear them out! They would pass out right on time.

#6

Yes.  In the summer my kids stay up until 9.  Some nights its 8:30 but most its 9.  

Even if their bedtime was earlier we dont mind pushing back bedtime for a special occasion.

Yes, I would go.  I love any activity that tires them out before bed

hopefulmom

Absolutely.  It's not like they would be getting out so late they wouldn't get up for school the next morning.  Even if they went to bed at 7 or 7:30...the latest they would be getting to bed would be maybe 8:30.  I mean, really, what is one hour in the big scheme of things.  I'm all for schedules but since it would be still close enough to bedtime when they went I wouldn't have a problem with it at all.  Make sure you have food so they don't have to try to eat before coming or after they get home.

Jaylea

Yes. It's ONE night. I don't worry about things like this.

I totally believe that in theory but DS would be a monster there (b/c he'd be tired) and a disaster the next few days while he caught up on sleep.  It sucks.  He's just not flexible when it comes to sleep.  

Hooray2005

Yes, we would probably go, particularly if it was a close friend/family member.  We'd probably stay until 7PM, and then just plan on getting the kiddos in bed a bit later that one night. 

One thing at that time, though, is I would (perhaps incorrectly) hope dinner-type foods/snacks would be available - at least for the kiddos -  so that it wasn't something I had to try to fit in afterward.    If not, I would want to know it was a "cake only" gig so I could plan accordingly

Sounds like fun!

I think it's fine!

Good thing since you guys are invited

I am actually going to go down tomorrow and see what other options I have. I may just have to move it a little later in June (she won't know the difference!)

Ditto

cristiana

Yes, we would. We're usually out and about at that time on Sundays anyways.

LanaM

Yes, we've gone to a 6pm party which was 40 minutes away..... we got home a bit too late, but it was not a big deal really.

ETA: it was at a bounce place too and kids got sooooo tired, no amount of pizza and ice cream kept them up late  

elm1032004

We would most likely go.  My kids go to bed between 7 and 7:30 so it wouldn't be that much later than their normal bedtime (unless I had to travel far for the party).  If the kids were getting to be too crabby I'd leave a little early though.

shopgirl78

Yes, even tho their bedtime is at 8pm.  We would go.   

wellfleet04

It includes dinner, right?  Pizza or something?  In that case, yes, we would go.

 FWIW, Ben's first birthday is at our house from 4-6 pm on a Sunday and EVERYONE we invited is coming, so  I think that's a good time.

jlw2505

Most likely no.  My kids bedtime is between 7 and 7:30 (ages 2 and almost 4) and they go to daycare/preschool full time and are up at around 6:15am M-F.  I would only do this for family and even then, we would most likely leave early.

GrowingFamily

Yes, but we would leave a little early.  Our DS#2 goes to bed at 7pm & our 2 DD's go to bed at 7:30pm- especially on a school night.
