How long should a birthday party last?

Anonymous
When parents are expected to stay at a birthday party for a child, how long should the party last? Is an hour and a half too short? I hate torturing adults!!

I think 2 hours is pretty standard.

2 hours for the crowd that requires parents staying.

I feel like people always trickle in the first 15 minutes or so, and then 1.5 hours is too short.

Venue parties are 90 minutes. If it's an at home party I would set it for 2 hours but expect people to start leaving around the 90 minute mark.

I think 90 minutes is fine for preschool aged kids. Two hours for K and up.
