He naps around 1-3.<br /> We have a bday party next wknd starting 12 and I really don't want to go because it's right at his naptime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479335 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:54:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1479335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I think that sounds great! I liked not feeling like we had a time constraint (no nap to get to or "other thing" to do later). It was more relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479320 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:48:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 1479320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer evening, after everyone naps but before bed, so 3:30ish to 7ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479288 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:34:26 +0000 Ginabean3 1479288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>morning! we're going to a bday party that is 930a-1130a tomorrow. LOVE IT! Might be too early for some people but our whole family consists of early birds....so it's GREAT! and then we have the whole rest of our day to do stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479284 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:30:33 +0000 blackbird 1479284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. pen, that's what i was hoping! E is still napping from 3-4, so 4-7 works for us. If it doesn't work for another family (and i think 4-530 is probably even ok for most with toddlers--we ARE serving dinner!), then...oh well!</p> <p>I mean, korean pork tacos, cookie dough truffles, and chocolate cupcakes. 'nuff said </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479282 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:28:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1479282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: that's what we did this year! I prefer later afternoon to evening now, but that's based on my toddlers schedule mostly. He naps from 1:30-3:30ish, so a 4pm thing is great for us. Something at 1pm would be miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479264 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:19:41 +0000 blackbird 1479264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing an evening bday party (4pm-7pm), hopefully people are cool with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479259 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:15:53 +0000 yoursilverlining 1479259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anytime but morning! I rush enough 5 days a week; I'm not rushing my weekend mornings for anyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479258 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:15:39 +0000 MrsH 1479258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything but evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479257 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:15:36 +0000 sandy 1479257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2 years old I prefer morning parties by far. It's predictable that we'll be ready to be somewhere anywhere after 9:30 and she's in a good mood all morning. We can do snacks to push lunch later if needed. Afternoon and evening parities are tougher bc naptime and getting up from naptime varies from day to day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479253 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:13:57 +0000 HabesBabe 1479253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Afternoon-- like, 12p or 1p start. I don't like to rush out the door during the weekends unless we have to, so a morning party would be too much in the AM for us. Evenings, we like to spend together as a family over dinner or whatnot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479230 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 16:58:26 +0000 autumnlove 1479230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Morning or early afternoon. I went to a 3-6 party a few months ago and didn't really like the timing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479223 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 16:56:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1479223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer afternoon/evening. Though because of LO mornings would be hard &amp; with an early bedtime, evening isn't really our thing anymore either lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-morningafternoonevening-birthday-parties#post-1479193 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 16:45:21 +0000 Freckles 1479193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was younger, i preferred afternoon parties but now i'm indifferent between morning/afternoon.</p> <p>What about you? What time of day do you prefer birthday parties to be? </p>
