The other times are difficult because naps vary so much from kid to kid (especially when you have more than one). After age 3 it doesn't matter as much, unless you're taking into account younger siblings... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1785185 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:46:38 +0000 mrsjyw 1785185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1785165 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:40:47 +0000 bunnylove08 1785165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1785155 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:37:21 +0000 mediagirl 1785155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1785151 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:36:28 +0000 bushelandapeck 1785151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 or 12pm so DS can play in the morning and then still go down for a proper nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1785119 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:23:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1785119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 or 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1785081 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:06:59 +0000 Purpledaisy 1785081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 2 or 3 is ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1785079 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:06:53 +0000 Purpledaisy 1785079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 2 or 3 is ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784872 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:24:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 1784872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Same-- noon while she is on 2 naps. That way she can get a good morning nap in, nurse, then head out. Once she is on one nap I'm sure that will change, but for a 1 year old that's perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784868 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:22:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 1784868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like 4 pm for kids, so we get an early dinner can hang out and hten go home before nap time. she usually naps from 11:30 - 1:30...so 10/12/2 is hard for us to make if we have to travel without making her a crabby patty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784863 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:20:08 +0000 sandy 1784863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 or 12 bc my LO is on one late nap now and it's guaranteed we're up and ready to get out of the house every morning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784809 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:58:16 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1784809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 pm because it is after naptime and LO is usually getting a little cranky, so we need something to distract her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784800 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:55:54 +0000 Adira 1784800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nowadays, noon. Because that's right between Xander's two naps. But I'm sure my opinion will change when he's fully down to one nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784789 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:51:51 +0000 regberadaisy 1784789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10am or 3pm.<br /> With 10am it works great with nap time. 2pm we will be late because LO usually goes down for her nap at 1pm at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784753 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:38:08 +0000 NovBaby1112 1784753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10am or 2pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784752 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:37:30 +0000 Mamaof2 1784752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10am - because I like to get them over with and get on with the day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784749 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:37:03 +0000 lawbee11 1784749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784746 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:35:23 +0000 hilsy85 1784746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10am so that we have a morning activity to do, and I don't need to worry about having to wake LO up from a nap, or him not napping long enough and being cranky in the afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-party-start-time#post-1784739 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:33:18 +0000 autumnlove 1784739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big fan of 10 or 12.
