If you’re planning a party for a weekday, keep in
mind that most people will be coming directly
from work. Choose a time early enough so they
can scoot right over, have a good time, and then go home at a reasonable hour.
For children or families, the best time for a party
is Sunday afternoon. This gives them something
to look forward to as a way of rounding out the
weekend. Saturdays are a good second choice, but
you’ll find that some parents will still be working
that day as well as attending their children’s
activities (soccer, baseball, etc.).
For a party where alcohol is served, Saturday is a
great night. Friday is a good backup night, but
again, since more and more people are working
on Saturdays, you may have a smaller turnout
than if you wait until Saturday night.
A party for adults will generally last four hours. It
might last for five but tends to fizzle at that point.
Knowing how long the party is going to last will
be determined by how many activities you’ll be
having (gift opening, speeches, etc.), as well as
whether you’re serving several courses or just
appetizers.
