The last three birthday parties DD1 has been to have been school nights (Fridays)


I personally wouldnt do an after school party as my other two go feral at that time of night, but its a good idea and then people get to keep the weekends for family rather than feeling like a chauffer service for the kids! Go for it! How old is your DD? an 8pm finish would probably be too late for kids around the 5-7 year age IMO after seeing them at 7pm last Friday I think another hour and there would have been tears and tiredness. But then 8+ it might be fine

PS Her birthday is halloween too!
