Crazy early for kids party?!

[sofedupandtiredofthis]

9.30am on a Sunday morning.

Thoughts on whether this is a reasonable time or too early for a kids party?

Sorry to jump on I'm organising my LO 5th birthday party first one she's had and it was 10am start is that reasonable?

2nd thing is am I giving enough time for invites? They start at school 1st week of spetmeber , I'm going to have the teacher that week for a list of the class' names to send invites , I've booked entertainer and hall for the 5th Oct. Is 2 weeks enough time to ask for replies which will literally be only 2 weeks before the actual party?! I'm worrying as the entertainer isn't cheap and I really don't want to let my DD down on her first ever proper birthday party. Thanks

2w isn't enough time for me for a party. We book things sometimes 3/4w ahead depending what they are

Arrange some meet ups with class in summer hols and get nunbers for wats app group tell them then about party

Two weeks would be plenty of notice for me, and very normal where I live. Party sounds lovely and 10am start is fine.

No way.

I'd rather take my DC2&4 to a 9:30am party on a Sunday than a 12:30pm party any day of the week. Lunchtime parties are too much for mine, they get so tired and then are utterly miserable for the rest of the day.

I wouldn’t be going. But DD is a sleeper and will happily stay in bed until then at a weekend!

Would be fine for me but possibly a bit early for some. How about 10.30 so you are done in time for nap time for those still having them. Breakfast bap or coffee for the parents would go down a treat if budget allows

Wouldn’t bother me. Sunday morning is just like any other morning to me and not this sacred thing that needs protecting.

I’d rather go early in the morning anyway before it gets busy and while lots of other parents are having (or trying to have) their lie ins 😄.

Thank you so much for your kind reply

@sofedupandtiredofthis I didn't mean to imply that you ignored him or made him miserable, just to give an example of the "return information" your kids might receive if they talk to their dad about the infidelity you tell them about.

He's hardly likely to say "your mum was a perfect wife, I just couldn't resist the office tart" is he? He's going to tell them that the marriage was already dead and that the two of you were not compatible and it wasn't such a stretch to start seeing someone new since your relationship was over in all but name ....

For me, keeping it to not getting on and having different outlooks on life is enough.
