We don't go to a lot of birthday parties, but if we do they are usually for families and we stay much longer. We went to one yesterday though for my niece on DH's side and it was about an hour and a half. Food, cakes and gifts moved along nice, so my kids were still happy at the end and not overly exhausted. I'm curious the average length of a birthday party though, two hours?
-
We usually say two hours on the invite but plan that people will stay 30 mins to an hour later than that.
-
About 3 hours.

3 hours

Usually 2 hours. 3-5 is the typical birthday party time slot in our group.
-
Two hours or so typically. Usually in the morning.

I went to one at a kids gym type of place and it was exactly 2 hours because they had another birthday party coming in after. It felt a little short but it was kinda nice too!
-
1.5-2 hours is typical around here. DS's birthday is in two weeks and ours is 1.5 hours.
-
1.5 to 2 hours. If it's at someone's home it could be longer, but when it's at a rented venue, it tends to be stricter on the time.

Two hours

We had party yesterday and it was almost 2 hours. Perfect amount of time

I think it depends on age!
1st birthday max 3hrs
DD is 2.5 hrs between her 1st and 2nd nap times
11:30-2 -
We only go to family birthday parties, and they last all afternoon and sometimes into the evening. Birthday parties at home start at 11, and guests leave around 4.
-
1.5-2 hours at a play venue. 2-3 at a home or restaurant.

Ours was about 2 hours. It was at our house. We had my son's music teacher come to sing and dance with everyone for 30 minutes, and beyond that it was eating lunch/cake and talking. It was long enough for people to have fun and enjoy themselves, but not too long, I think!

1.5-2 hrs

2-3 hours.
We are having DS's birthday party at a venue in a few weeks and it is booked for 2 hours.
