AIBU to have my 9yr old DDs Bday party on a Friday/Sunday 7-9pm???

[3GirlsMamaBear]

My DD s turning 9 and the only time available for private hire at the play centre in Friday or Sunday from 7pm to 9pm... I prefer to have the venue exclusively hence the private hire but obviously this limits the time slots... would children and parents find it difficult to attend after being at school/work?
Which day would be best?

I certainly wouldn't have let my 9yo go to a party until 9pm on a Sunday - way too late. I would have serious doubts about a Friday if we had a busy weekend to cope with afterwards.

Personally I think that's too late for a 9 yo party, especially if the Sunday is before school.

Bit late really for a 9 year olds party, i wouldn't accept unless it was a very close friend of DDs. If you must have it that late then Friday not Sunday, you gong want it on the night before school.

That sounds fine for a Friday night. Isn't that a normal time to be up at that age?

Too late for a kids party. Prob won't get many rsvps.

It's a bit late and depending on when it is, you'll find it will start to interfere with parents' evening plans so they may not be able to get the children there and back again. I certainly wouldn't do it on a Sunday and DH or I or both seem to be out on a Friday at the moment which would complicate things.

I would on a Friday if I wouldn't have to keep younger siblings up til 9 to pick up. I wouldn't on a Sunday.

We'd go on a Friday if DH wasn't travelling.
Would pull a face at Sunday. Would for a very, very good friend. But would suffer for it the following week most likely.

Thanks for the comments... I did think it was late... maybe i should try and find the next available Saturday, even if it ends up being a few weeks after her Birthday.. or should i just scrap the idea?

If she really wants a party at that venue then a few weeks later would give her something to look forward to!

I'd have found a Friday night fine. Probably not Sunday.

I would, I don't think many 9years olds are asleep before 9pm anyway are they. And it's a Friday night

I have arranged a 7th birthday which will be at our house but 6-8pm on a Saturday. We have only invited 6 guests but so far all have said yes, so doesn't seem an issue.

Friday night would be fine, long lie possible in the morning, also saves tying up a day of the weekend. I wouldn't be overly pleased at the thought of a party on a Sunday night party because of school the next morning even on holidays some kids still need to be up early for childcare reasons.

I think ok for a one-off TBH.
Does no-one else's 9yo have the odd late-night activity or school disco? We have a termly music ensemble concert that's usually from 7-9pm, and I'd assumed that was standard for junior school kids.
