What? Or you could just book the venue you actually want on a Sunday. We’ve had lots of Sunday pm parties over the years with good turnout.

Sunday afternoons are fine. We go to church Sunday mornings but are done by noon so anything after 1pm works great.

Sundays are much better and 1:30 is a great time.

I go to as many parties on Sundays as I do on Saturdays.

Sunday afternoon parties are normal and often easier than Saturdays (less conflict with sports/lessons.) I would avoid mornings in case you have church going friends, but most are done by 1:30

The church people may not come. They got to go to church and pray for their sins.

Also, try not to project your own insecurities to your child. He may be thrilled with just a couple of kids there, a big turnout may overwhelm him, and since this is probably the first party he has had that he can remember, he doesn’t know the difference between a big or a small party. Manage your own expectations and enjoy your child and celebrating this milestone with him. Most kids at 5 are happy with a treat, a gift and maybe a balloon.


Agree about insecurities

They said that they could do Sunday. Are Sunday parties normal or acceptable? Would you take your kid to one if invited? Do you think 1:30 would be the best time for a decent turnout. I would just be so upset for him if not many kids could show up. Thank you for your input.


Sunday afternoons are usually perfect. Parents have already finished weekend sports and they are looking for something to do with the little ones. Yes, I would jump at the chance.
