LO napped beforehand and woke up as the party started. He went down for a nap after eating and blowing out candles. He didn't get a chance to open presents though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1331310 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:52:22 +0000 plantains 1331310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the time she was napping 9.30-11.30 and 3.30 to 5 so we had the party at noon and it was great! Now that she is on one nap, we will probably plan for 4pm in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1331296 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:49:25 +0000 Mommy Finger 1331296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started around 3 and served dinner at 5 or 5:30. DS usually goes to be around 7 but he stayed up a little later that day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330405 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 09:59:59 +0000 travellingbee 1330405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. I am thinking maybe we will do 4pm so it is after naps and we can do dinner. We are going to cater BBQ. A lot of people around here do kids parties at like 10am, but since most of his guests will be adults and some older kids, I think 4 would work better. Plus I just can't do cake at at 10 in the morning! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330379 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 09:52:48 +0000 dagret 1330379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are doing 2-5 b/c he usually naps 10-11:30 or 12:30-2 (we're working on transitioning to 1 nap) and he goes to bed by 7:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330372 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 09:50:09 +0000 wheres_c 1330372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330311 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 09:31:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 1330311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 4:30 so it was after all kids nap time!

She always naps earlier at home so I figured we would be good with 2-4. Now she might not be.....so we are just going to have to wing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330159 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 08:45:34 +0000 littlebug 1330159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having D's 2-5. He usually naps 12-2 or 1-3, so we'll just try to make sure he goes down closer to 12 that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330157 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 08:43:31 +0000 MsLipGloss 1330157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 2-4 p.m. . . . I tried to avoid naps as best possible, but at that time my LO usually napped around 12:30, and also has a pretty early bedtime (6-6:30 pm), so I didn't want to run too close to her bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330145 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 08:37:04 +0000 Adira 1330145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning mine for 1:00 and just praying the naps work out!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330133 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 08:31:14 +0000 MamaChin 1330133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 1pm-3pm at a restaurant, it was between his two naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330119 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 08:23:36 +0000 Mamaof2 1330119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it at 330pm -after nap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330044 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 07:19:23 +0000 mediagirl 1330044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had ours at 4pm. It worked out great with nap times and our neighbors who came (who have kids) said it was great for their kids (ages 1.5 - 6) as well. I wish we had done cake a LITTLE sooner since bedtime is normally 7pm and that night, it wasn't until i9:30 b/c of the sugar rush!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-birthday-party-time-of-day#post-1330039 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 07:16:01 +0000 travellingbee 1330039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time did you have yours? Trying to plan LOs birthday and not sure what works best. </p>
