[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I agree with others - 2 hours is max for kids birthday parties. 3:30 - 5:30 and mention that you'll have "snacks and cake" or something like that - it's helpful to know what food will be served. If it was me, I would honestly do 4-6 pm and serve a dinner at 5 so people aren't rushing home to get their kids dinner at the end of the party. For most 3 year old party invites it says "no gifts please" but I know there are mixed feelings on this. Personally I like this for 3 year olds, and don't mind at all buying gifts for my 5 year olds friends because he actually know their preferences and has fun picking out for them. So I've liked the 3 year old no gift parties, but either way is fine. If you say nothing, you will get a lot of gifts.

And definitely no magnets. I've never seen anything beyond an email or an evite. And absolutely don't give a different end to one set of folks. Your close friends will stay if they want. [/quote]

Oh and even if you plan for your friends to stay later, make sure to sing happy birthday and cut the cake about 1.5 hours in so that preschool friends can comfortably leave! [/quote]
