Bday party: Saturday or Sunday

[Anonymous]

Okay, we’re on our second week of Sunday morning birthday parties (literally waiting in the Skyzone parking lot now) and they are quickly becoming my favorite. Hour of jumping, lunch served and then you are done for the rest of the day. Doesn’t interfere with soccer and we have our entire Saturday free.

Sunday morning or late afternoon would be best for us. My kids' games can be anywhere between 9am and 4pm on Saturdays. Sundays they are usually in the early afternoon.

I think Sunday at 3:30 would be best — religious commitments are often weekend mornings, Saturdays have sports and activities, and 3:30 is late enough to be after most nap schedules (the 6yos won’t nap but my household still does quiet time after lunch so my 2yo can nap and while we wouldn’t necessarily decline a party earlier it’s morning convenient to do in the usual afternoon activity block).

How do you know when Saturday morning sports are? Ours are all over the day time wise. I’d do Sunday at 1:44.

+1. Definitely after church/ Sunday school

it all depends. our family does church, DS goes to parish school religion, and then swim. we skip sunday bday parties.

Thanks from OP. Answers all over the map so at least I'm not an outlier with this dilemma!

I'm thinking 1:45 on Saturday or Sunday. Leaning towards Saturday. But ...not yet sure. Most sports are Saturdays and timing-wise, none of six year olds who are coming nap (and we're not inviting siblings as it is a limited space). Knowing not everyone can make everything hopefully we still get a good turnout. Thanks everyone.

Ask the families attending.

I would do it around 2:30 or feed lunch as some may be coming from church or sports.

This is for elementary school age. They don’t need to worry about siblings nap schedules.

My preference would be 1:45 either day.
