Party for 5 yo on a sat that starts at 10.15am?

[Ellieboolou27]

Posting for traffic - and mn advise as I'm a party virgin.

Dd has a July birthday, the farm that I plan to book has two times 10.15-1.30 or 2-4.

I'd really like a 10.15 as kids get tractor ride and animal handling experience, the 2-4 slot is slightly cheaper so it's not a cost saving option.

Inviting around 12-16 kids all reception age. As parents would you be at a party that starts so early on a Saturday morning?

Need wise party novices to avoid paying £18 a head in advance to book if it's a bad idea.

Oh god yes.
Early out is earlier home for me.
DD would be up at 6am & full of it.
By 1pm she will be very tired & grumpy. So home for a gin snuggle.

We have been invited to an early doors one un a few weeks. Im DD is excited

I'd definitely mention the discount for siblings but no food on the invite. Some parents will have to take siblings but £11.50 is too much for someone else's party but £5 is doable.

Absolutely mention the coffee and that parents can stay or leave. Sometimes it's a minefield knowing whether you're expected to stay or not.
