birthday in february
We are celebrating DD's birthday on Sunday, February 8. School is out on
Monday, February 9, for Lincoln's birthday. I think most people work on Lincoln's birthday. So, the venue we are considering has only two time slots: 10:30 to 12:30 or 6:30 to 8:30. Can anyone give me their opinions of each time slot, which is preferable and why? I know each community is different, but I'd like to debate this in my head a little before making the decision. This venue is ideal, but the time slots aren't. The alternatives don't appeal to me, either, so I will likely end up choosing this venue. |

I pick the 12:30 time slot, since it can be over at a decent time to still
get things done. -- Sue (mom to three girls) "toypup" wrote in message ... We are celebrating DD's birthday on Sunday, February 8. School is out on Monday, February 9, for Lincoln's birthday.

The later one for sure. Depending on your Dd's age, it may be a hassle for
parents of young children to try to get up early to get their child ready in time, or for older kids, the parents may like to have an extra hour of sleep in the morning. My Dd has playgroup at 10:30 two days a week, and it's all I can do to get her there on time, and I usually get up around 8 - 8:30, but by the time she has something to eat, brushes teeth, hair, gets dressed, repeat for baby (minus teeth and hair brushing), it's really a struggle to make it, and this is something that I have regularly. Also, 10:30 may interfere if some of the families attend any worship services (It's at 11:00 here, don't know what time there) Just my opinion, my Dd is 4, and I'd much rather have an invite to a party at 6:30pm, rather than 10:30am.

Thank you. That opinion is appreciated. DD is 4. I personally prefer a 10:30 slot, but it is a religious area considering the number of churches within a one block radius. Worship is a consideration. |

By 8:30, I want to be home enjoying my family life. |

How old is she? We did a morning party for my DD this year, because some of her younger friends still nap in the afternoon, but that wouldn't be a problem if your child is more than, say, 5. |

I just worry all the religious folk won't come. We live in a religious area. I am agnostic, so I don't discuss religion with anyone. That is a problem for me now, because I know a few of her friends' families are very religious, but I'm not sure of the rest, even though I speak to them quite often and they live just a few doors down. They could all be church going people and then no one would come to our 10:30 party. |
