Would you be happy to go to a 5 year olds birthday party at 4-6pm?

Food will be served towards the end of the party, so 5.30 ish- is that too late?

The hall is local.
Thanks

Completely fine and if the meal is a decent size, I'd have been thrilled as I wouldn't have to worry about supper.

I'd say it's unusual, most of the parties mine have been invited are were more like 3-5, but I don't think it's stupidly late and it's a Saturday so at least no school in the morning. I'd be surprised if people had an issue with it

You will never a pick a time that everyone is happy with... it will always be a Grannys birthday, or a swimming lesson, or a sibling has foorball practice etc.

No - sounds fine to me. Leaves time for clubs / family stuff during the day. Party - home - bath - wind down - bed👌
