Ava's 1st Birthday - Start Time??

Hi,

I am trying to decide on a start time for Ava's 1st Birthday party.

I am thinking about her naps. She ususally goes down about 2 hours after she wakes up (is that normal??). So I am thinking to play it safe mabye 11 am?

What time do most people start 1st birthday's at?? Thanks,
Denise
ETA: I am not sure if I should do a party wtih a time limit. For example, 1-5 or whatever? It is 4th of July, but I don't know what to do? Any opinions. I don't want people to feel that they have to run out.. Any solutions, PLEASE! :)
Thanks

I would say 11am is fine. It would've been between Maddie's 2 naps when she was 1 (she used to go down for a nap at 10am & 1pm)

Thanks Barbara.

Can you believe I am planning Ava's 1st birthday already. It seems like just yesterday... :)

Ava wakes up at about 7-7:30. She usually has her first nap at 9 am and the second at 1 also.

Did your daughter only take two naps at 1?

I might do 11 or maybe even a little later like 2:30. That way she will be hopefully done with naps for the day. What did you do for your childrens 1st birthdays?

Thanks so much for your help.
