Birthday Party ?

adamsbabble

If you read my post yesterday, neither my MIL nor my mom will be able to attend Charlotte's birthday party on the weekend we're having it, and it is literally the only weekend we have open in the month of May... however, if we move it to that Saturday instead of that Sunday (same weekend) they would both be able to attend.  The only problem is that my DH works that Saturday, so we would have to schedule the party at 5 or 6 p.m.  Would it annoy you to be invited to a children's party at that time on a Saturday evening?

We had both Elena's 1st and 2nd birthdays on a Saturday starting at 5pm.  No one complained to my face.

If you're having a meal, then no, it wouldn't annoy me at all.

FWIW- I did serve dinner both parties.  BBQ sandwiches at one and sloppy joes at the other.

If it was for a close friend or family member (where people wouldn't care if my kids were kind of crabby I wouldn't mind and would definitely go.  If it were for just an 'acquaintance' I probably wouldn't go since it's dinner time and would cut into our evening/bedtime routine.

Do whatever works for you and your family!  Who cares if people don't like it, they can always stay home

We had J's bithday party @ 5pm. That said, there are no other children in our extended families (and we didn't invite friends, this year), so we did what worked best for us. Heck, even if there were other children in our family, I'd likely still do what works best for us.

I've done all of Ethan's bday parties at 4 or 5 so I don't run into kids naptimes.  It's worked for us and I've never heard otherwise from anyone.  I always have enough food for a meal.  We just did pizza from Costco and snacks for his 3rd and it was easy.

Same as most of the pps responeses, we've always done DS's birthday parties at 4 or 5 and we've had kids come and no one ever complained about the time.

We had Ellie's party at 5 on a Sunday last year and I loved it. It was so nice to have all day to get ready and not to have to worry about running into her naptime. We grilled out and I made sides and apps. Almost everyone we invited was there, so the time must not have been too inconvenient.

We have my nephew's birthday party this Saturday night at 7 p.m. Granted he's turning 12, and it's certainly not what I'd consider my ideal time with a toddler, but I don't think something special or late every once in a while is a huge deal. My sister always has her kids' parties at dinner time and it's no problem. Plus the nice thing about an evening party is people are guaranteed to clear out after a couple hours.

We had B's 1st bday party at 5:30 if I recall correctly.  Since it was more of a party for adults than kids, we really didn't care.  We grilled out and played cornhole.  Everyone seemed to have a good time.  For his 2nd, I think we went with 4 or something like that... again, later becuase it works for us.  We also served a meal then too.
