birthday party!

This might be a silly question, but at what time are you having LO's birthday party start?  DD usually goes down for her a.m. nap around 9 and will sleep 1-2 hours (lately just 1 but in the good ole days, 2).  I want her to be up and awake but certainly well-rested...then of course I don't want the party to cut into her afternoon nap or for her to get too tired/cranky...so I'm thinking 11-2.  Thoughts??

    I just took a guess and went 12:30-2:30.  I don't know if he'll have gone to one nap. Currently he goes down around 1:30-2, but I know he can stretch if he needs to.

    We are doing 3:00.  Both naps are done and the younger kids that are coming naps are done around then or they will come when naps are over.  This is the typical time.  Our friends have done it at 10:00 am and then by lunch all the kids are having meltdowns and it's not fun....we have all our close friends and kids at parties so we keep that in mind.

    Our daughter fights her afternoon nap--sometimes she will crash, but about 75% of the time she won't have it.

    Her morning nap is usually around 9:30/10-12ish (depending on when she falls asleep). So I decided to have her party from 1-4pm. I figure that she will be exhausted at the end and just go to bed early. When she doesn't take her second nap--she is usually asleep between 6:00-6:30. (Today it was 6:15)

    It's a tough one. I think every baby is different and on different schedules. 11 to 2 is right around his first nap and most babies around us nap around noon but my friends twins only nap from 1 to 3. I'm planning on having hours at 2 since most days he won't even take a second nap and whenever we have  a play date we usually pick 2pm so I guess it works for us.

    We will have it start around 1PM since its a cookout.  She will get her morning nap in and will be ready for her afternoon nap after the party!

    We're starting after his PM nap, so around 3. We'll be grilling and have dinner ready for 4ish. Then he'll go to bed whenever he's tired (7 pm as of late, but who knows with the party), and then it's time for drinks and a bonfire!
