Reasonable distance for birthday party

[Anonymous]

How far would you travel for a kids birthday party? There’s a venue we really like but it’s 20-25 min from our neighborhood, where most of DD’s friends also live. I feel like 20 is reasonable but 25 may be pushing it, as arbitrary as that sounds.

The kids will be between 3 and 4 so it’s not a drop off party and space allows for siblings, if that matters.

About an hour.

30-60 minutes if it's a morning party. We don't have as much leeway to travel in the afternoons because naps are iffy and I don't want a long trip home if my kid tips the overtired threshold at the party.

That’s fine especially if you allow siblings.

30 minutes

How far have I gone? An hour, but it was to a really cool fall festival type place that we'd never been to before, the invitation was for the whole family, and it was for a friend we don't see that often anymore.

If it is a venue that holds appeal for all of my kids the drive would not bother me.

Depends on the closeness of the friendship as much as the distance of the venue. We'll drive 1-2 hours for a good friend.

I'd drive 30 minutes for a child of a very good friend. If not, no more than 20. Convenience is the most important thing. A good time can be haved almost anywhere.

I'd keep in mind time of the party as well. If travel to or from would be close to lunch, I'd stock up on extra snacks.
