No need to name call (?!). For one of my kids, going to this party at age 3 would take a week to recover from (not me, the kid). We don't know OP's kid so we don't know the issues.

The only one who sounds miserable is OP. Nowhere in her post did she say this would throw her kid off balance for days on end. Op just has an extremely rigid plan with her kid and seems to freak out if she has to stray from it. They can go for dinner and leave around 730. I guarantee OPs kid will be fine if bedtime is 830 and not 8.
I would decline the party because neither my child nor I would enjoy it. I don't see the issue with that and think OP's DH is the one being needlessly rigid and stubborn.
Really? Your 3 year old wouldn't enjoy running around a play place an hour before their bedtime routine even starts?

I can see we don’t value family in the same way. I would be really sad if my niece/nephew did not attend my son birthday party because it would delay bedtime. How sad
That’s because you only care about yourself. You are not thinking of your niece/nephew.
