Timing for 4 year old birthday party

11 replies

Belle82 · 26/01/2022 14:27

My little girl has had two lockdown birthdays so we wanted to do something special this year.

We’re holding it at a soft play, obviously not exclusively 😳
But they have two times:

10-12
Or
1-3

It’s the first time I’ve held a proper party for her so I’m a bit naive as to what would be best.

What time would you hold it for?

Thank you ❤️

10 to 12. Food will be near a meal time

If they are offering food in the package I would go 10-12.
1-3 is a bit in between meals, I think.

10-12 as softplay will be a little quieter.

10-12. 1-3 is over lunchtime so a bit awkward. Also seems to take up more of day so means no time to do much else in afternoon

10-12. Otherwise half the children will have eaten at home the other half hungry as soon as they arrive.
10-12, means 90 mins running around, 30 mins eat, cake and home

Soft play will be cleaner first thing as well.

1-3

10-12

We went to one 1-3. Had food at 230 which was weird

Not many ate as they prob had lunch like mine dud at 12 as knew no way would wait till 2 fir lunch esp running playing burning energy

And dd 4 wanted te 5 as hungry

Very weird time

I get soft play fumigate but would be better 11-1 or 3-5 for parties

10-12. Not sure how old they are but many children still have an afternoon nap right up to school age (or their siblings do which can make things awkward). Also, it means families have the rest of the day free. Sometimes it can be difficult to plan a family day when one child has a party 1-3.
