The earlier the better. I hate parties that are right in the middle of the day, it kills the whole day.

This. Plus usually with young kids families are up early anyway. I know when my DD has a party later in the day she will bug us all day long asking if its time for the party yet. Chat Icon

Saturday 2 or 3 pm- DD has swim class on Saturday morning. Sunday mornings we hang out as a family have breakfast and catch up the last
thing I want to do is to rush off to a kids party.

Sat at 2 or 3. Almost everyone we know does some sort of activity on Sat morning (swim, soccer, piano, dance, etc).

Same. We hate rushing to get up early and out the door on the weekends. We usually have a nice brunch at home around 10 or 11. Then start getting ready, then head out for the day.

I prefer Sat at 2 or 3 pm. For 2 reasons:
1) I hate rushing in the morning.
2) It'll give my kids something to do in the afternoon.

Re: birthday party times-which do you prefer

I agree with the early parties. Either Sat 10 or Sun 11. It's a 5 year old party so you don't have to worry about naps, but I like getting out right after breakfast and starting the day. By the time the kids are done playing you serve lunch then we have the rest of the day for activities, errands, etc.

Same here. I booked my son's party for 12-3 and I know my family from Staten Island and Jersey are going to be an hour late at least.

I agree. I hate having to get up and rush. I like to wake up late, spend an hour or 2 in my pjs, drinking coffee on weekends.
I have to get up early and rush to get showered, dressed, out the door 5 days a week.
I hate when I have to do that on the weekends too.

Saturday at 2 or 3. We don't do mornings and Sunday I prefer to not have any obligations and just go with the flow.
