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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-birthday-parties-you-attend-usually-last#post-2357008 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 12:04:26 +0000 catomd00 2357008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1.5-2 hours at a play venue. 2-3 at a home or restaurant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-birthday-parties-you-attend-usually-last#post-2356965 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 11:11:25 +0000 yin 2356965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only go to family birthday parties, and they last all afternoon and sometimes into the evening.

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? </p>
