Can you not have it earlier? Like 11 - 1pm?
You are never going to suit everyone. 3-5 prob so they can nap before then be sleepy for bedtime. It’s only one day so I’m sure most people will be flexible with naps. We are not 100% bang on schedule at weekends which helps a lot socially!!
Now my son is not napping any of those would work But his friends some of them still nap, so I would pick the later one to accommodate however at this age, they might be dropping their nap and this is an awkward time where they might get a bit overtired Is an earlier time not an option? X
We’re doing 11am-12.30pm because although most others are more flexible, I’ve always been stressed going to parties if it’s during nap time / later in the day but I’m just one of those parents that keeps to routine, having said that, I do still always make the effort to go, I’m sure most will come whatever the time will be x
I’d say earlier personally as after 1pm my toddler would be wild from being tired 😂 we are doing 12-2:30 x
A lot of 3 year olds don't nap anymore so having a party 3-5 is just a time where they are more sensitive to crying etc.. so 100% I would pick 1-3pm My son's party is 11-1pm
1-3pm is naptime for most younger siblings and 3-5pm is crazy o'clock for overtired 3 year olds who aren't napping anymore so I'd do 10:30-12:30pm ideally
@Hayley The venue is available from 12:30 onwards - so earliest I can do is 1pm
I done 10:30-1.. worked great 😃
I’ve chose to do 11-1 😅 hoping for a good turnout 🤞🏼
How old is the birthday kid and the kids you’re inviting? For us, we have a 3 and a 1yr old, 1-3 is nap time so we say no to any party during that.
