Birthday party timing

I have no idea when to have DD's party.. what do you think of these options?  It is a small group of adults and kids.

~ Wednesday evening - DD's actual bday - I feel like it would be really tough for people to squeeze in a party after work especially if they have kids (end of day grouchiness, bedtimes, etc), but I could be wrong

~ Saturday - either a brunch or lunch?  I was thinking it would be nice to serve brunch-y food for a change, but maybe people don't want to try to make it out at 10am on a Sat?

~ Columbus day - I have mixed feelings about asking people to come to a bday party on their day off, any thoughts?

We have so much other stuff going on too, so I'm not sure what day to choose..

    I would do Saturday lunch or brunch because of the reasons you said people may not be able to do the other days.

    Do Saturday brunch or lunch and cater as much as you can so the most you may have to do is stick something in the oven to heat.

    I'd do early afternoon on a Saturday.

    I would do Sat (brunch or lunch is fine) or Columbus Day brunch.  That way if ppl have stuff to do on Columbus day, it is probably after your party anyway.  I would be fine at 10am on a Saturday.  We did 11am today for dd's party, but any earlier would have been hard bc of church.

    One thing that is great if you do a brunch is egg bake.  You can make it ahead and then stick it in.  Lots of fruits, and some pastries?  We did my bridal shower as a brunch and food wise it was pretty easy.

    Saturday brunch! I would *think* that most kids (therefor adults) are up & awake well before 10. 

    Then again this is coming from the woman that is excited it is almost 6:30 & both boys are still sleeping lol

    I too am in the Saturday brunch camp...also it will help cut down on lingering people because of nap time, etc...
