L's birthday is this coming Sunday and for many of the same reasons as you have given, I set the party time for 2-5 and am only serving snacks and cupcakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-weird-party-duration#post-980766 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:36:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 980766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine. The scavenger hunt sounds fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-weird-party-duration#post-980753 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:33:01 +0000 runsyellowlites 980753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G's party is coming up quick &amp; I need to send off our invites to get printed. The party is on a Sunday afternoon (after church) &amp; ideally I wouldn't have to serve a full meal.</p> <p>I have a scavenger hunt planned that could take anywhere from 30min-1hr (not really all that sure) and then of course opening gifts, food, and cake.</p> <p>I was thinking 2-4:30 would probably be best (enough time for me to get things ready after church, for everyone to get lunch pre-party &amp; then end still before dinner for I can serve light snacks instead of a meal). I guess I just keep thinking that 2.5 hours is a weird duration...</p> <p>thoughts? </p>
