Even works for the older crowd! Just be sure to provide substantial food and not just drinks and snacks. You don't want hangry kids, or adults! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-birthday-party#post-2395181 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 19:04:37 +0000 Freckles 2395181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 10:30 to 1:30 for DS' 1st party. We did a brunch and it worked out perfectly between his two naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-birthday-party#post-2395180 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 19:02:58 +0000 stratosphere 2395180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's totally normal for a 1st bday party. We did 12-2pm for LO's first BDay and it worked great. She ended up doing her first nap a bit late that day and she wasn't melting down or anything at the end of the party despite it being beyond her nap time (which was typically 1:00/1:30 at that point). </p> <p>Have fun! Make sure someone gets video (even if just iPhone video) of LO eating first cake. We didn't remember to do that, and despite having a professional photographer there, really regret not getting at least a few video clips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-birthday-party#post-2395139 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 17:04:40 +0000 autumnlove 2395139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds good.

Perfect for an early lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-birthday-party#post-2395112 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 15:50:18 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2395112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that time is fine - we did both LO's 1st birthday and her baptism party at about the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-birthday-party#post-2395102 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 15:16:51 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2395102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a common time in my circle! Usually play for an hour and then lunch at noon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-birthday-party#post-2395100 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 15:11:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 2395100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my daughter's first birthday party is in January. I'm creating the invites now, and debating on a time.. she naps in the morning and afternoon (usually 9 or 1 ish!) so I'm leaning toward doing 11-1 or so, so that even if she goes down a little late she isn't horribly off schedule.</p> <p>Is 11 am too early for a birthday party? it's on a Saturday. I'm doing a hot cocoa bar and light desserts, and instead of typical lunch food could go brunch-y, which I love! </p>
