What time would you choose for a 3 year old birthday party? I was hoping for lunch time on Saturday, but that was taken.
Most of the guests are 2.5-4 years old and nap from 1-3. Most guests live within 10 minutes of the venue. Most aren't religious or have flexibility in what times they go to church.
Regardless of time, I'd be serving a meal.

I voted 10:30. My 3 yo is more pleasant in the morning and it’s more realistic for us to get somewhere by 10:30 as opposed to 9.

10:30 -12:30 for my 2.5 year old. Just easier to go before nap, since that time can move and sometimes wake up is tough.

Exactly what @LadyDi: said. Everyone is more pleasant in the morning and my LO can wake up in a terrible mood after nap. And 9, realistically, I'd probably be rushing and running late.

Agree 10:30 is perfect! That said I have hosted earlier (9 or 9:30 can’t remember) at a place where it was that or naptime and it also worked well, a few people were late but it was informal anyway. We had donuts and CFA chicken minis and fruit for a brunch-y setup.

10:30 am before nap time is awesome. On the weekend I let LO nap as long as he needs. So a party before nap time is best.

Crap I meant to choose 10:30 but accidentally selected 9am.
I would struggle to show up at 9am on a weekend for a birthday party.
4pm is too late and cuts into dinner time.

We did 4-6pm on Sat last year for 3rd birthday. We are at church Sunday mornings and we also had a 1 year old that needed her morning nap so we found that was the best time!
