What is a good time for a party?
From my conversations with parents and young people in our Party Safe Education™ seminars, young people would suggest a start time of between 7pm and 9pm whereas parents opt for between 6pm and 8pm.
How long should you stay at a birthday party?
How long should the party go? For the under-3 crowd, an hour is plenty. For 4- to 6-year-olds, two hours works well. Older children can enjoy a two-hour party, or a bit longer, provided there's plenty of varied entertainment.
How many hours should a party last?
For adult birthday parties and nighttime events, four hours is usually appropriate. Formal affairs such as weddings, bat and bar mitzvahs, and sweet sixteens tend to last at least four hours but can go much longer.
