nap during bday party

My mom was supposed to bring my son to the park at 11 and he was dead asleep he came like 45 minutes late no one cared. My cousins son slept through majority of his party no one said anything.

We started her party after her afternoon nap, so that she could be awake the whole time

We’re planning to have a birthday party for our girls but they’re so young and are still being nursed on demand / fussy around strangers . I don’t know that we will even have them out much other than for singing of happy birthday especially if they are being fussy . It’s going to be more and adult affair but for the girls/ most of our friends either don’t have kids or they’re kids are grown and I just began to get out to mom groups this week to connect w/ other moms in person so I doubt that many of them will be there w/ Littles ,but regardless yes my babies will be able to sleep anytime they wish in the room. But even if they were older and wanted a nap I don’t see an issue with them having one during that time, naps can be as long or as short as you wish. I don’t have to be with either of my girls the whole time but would likely need to be there to put them down/ nurse them to sleep and hubs is a host too so he can take over during that time . Their sitter can also help

I made my sons birthday party only 3 hours perfect amount of time I think at 1 for everyone to have a good time, and celebrate him and he napped before everyone started coming in and by the time he woke back up everyone was still there he only napped an hour and was ready to go after that, just make sure to make the birthday party no longer then 3 hours that’s more then enough time especially since they are still so little and need so much from their parents and the people at the birthday party were also parents with kids around the same age and totally understood the needs of the birthday boy.

We did an evening thing so it was during her longest wake window. 4-7:30. People hung out for a bit after she went to bed but only for a half hour.

my grandmother is going to watch my daughter while we set up for the party which starts about 30 minutes after she usually wakes up so that she can hopefully have a nap to avoid getting cranky during the party

We started her party after her first nap! So she was awake for all of it

Our son is down to one nap, but we chose to nap him twice that day. Before and after party. And honestly he probably could have gone without the second, he was so excited to be with people and play, I don't think he noticed how tired he was until we put him down for a nap. He certainly didn't give any tired cues.

Mine goes down around 230/3 for her second nap so we had people arrive around 3 and she was already napping.

I did mine for 3 hours after her 1st nap. It worked really well

We started her party after her morning nap—I went to setup for the party and my husband woke her up and brought her

Yupp. Smack dab In the middle. Crawled on the couch with his grandpa and passed out 😂
