[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. I've NEVER heard of a kids Bday party that early. Just plan wrong and I'm sure the majority of the people going aren't happy about the time either.

2. 50 people is just crazy for a child that age. I sure hope your not allowing your child to get 25 or more presents. Bad move.[/quote]

1) I'd much, MUCH rather attend a brunch kid's birthday party than an afternoon party. Hello, tons of young kids still nap. And yet tons of people do lunch time parties. This drives me crazy--don't your kids NAP?

Better brunch or early dinner than lunch.

2) You *do* realize that OP might be part of a culture that does, routinely, host this many people for a birthday gathering, right? This is quite common with some cultures.[/quote]

My 4 year old hasn't napped since he was 2.5. Pretty much only when he's sick or on the drive home after a particularly exhausting activity, like swimming. And when he did nap, it was in the afternoon after lunch. We still have "nap time" on days we are in the house for lunch, but he just hangs out in his room playing with toys for an hour.

I love lunchtime and afternoon parties. We like to go to the playground or do family activities in the morning. Post lunch is harder for us to fill. Lunchtime party or mid-afternoon party takes care of that. I don't care for early evening parties as much since he's wired when we get home, but whatever. We went to a lunchtime party today and it was great. Since it was lunch, there was plenty of time for leisurely showers for me and DH and a family trip to the farmers market in the morning. The baby fell asleep on the way to the party and kept sleeping through most of it, the 4 year old ran around with the other kids (3-8) for 2 hours, they got to eat pizza and cake for lunch, and when we came home he rested in his room for an hour and a half and then played with magnatiles until dinner. Great day.[/quote]
