Do You Prefer Saturday or Sunday Bday Parties?

Saturday kid parties, Sunday family parties.

Saturday--Sunday is our family day, and it is the only one we get. I don't give it up to anyone, except for extended family.

Saturday. I don't even go to Sunday parties, it's just too difficult.

I think anyone who attends a church on Sunday, would prefer Saturday.

I'm really quite surprised at the responses that people would refuse a Sunday invitation. We're having a Sunday lunch time party in a couple of weeks and almost every person has RSVP'd with a yes. That includes the preschool friends and the family friends. Same as last year. I guess we have better friends who are eager to celebrate with us.

I like Saturdays for parties with friends. We can extend the time if we are having fun and they can recover on Sundays..

I like Sundays after 1:00 for family so they will leave at a reasonable time.

I prefer Saturday because Sunday we attend church and then try to enjoy family time before having to get ready for work on Monday. Plus, right now, hubby works on Sunday (but even when he didn't, we preferred Saturday parties).

Saturday!! We go to church on Sundays, and running right to parties makes the day too crazy! But we do it anyways if we have one to go to!

Saturday birthday parties. Showers are more common on Sundays. Sunday is family day, we go to my parents for dinner during the summer. I prefer not to go to a party on Sundays, we like that for Laundry, rest and family.

Saturday - for the reason you stated you like them on Sundays. I like to take Sunday as a day to relax and get ready for the week so I do not want to go to a kid party or taxi the kids to a party. In fact, the earlier the better on Saturday. I dreaded birthday parties, absolutely loathed them - I am so thankful my kids are too old for them now.

We have church on Sunday morning, and I always cook a special family dinner on Sunday night. Saturday is our "free" day, so it is the better day to attend a birthday party.

It really depends on the time of year and what may be occurring locally, to be honest. It also depends on whether or not a majority of the guests are anticipating having plans on one of the days that weekend and that weekend is my only option for whatever reason.

All that to say that I don't really have a preference. I do know which days most of my guests prefer.

EDIT: Really though in the end I choose what's convenient for me. If people want to see my kids and my family and they're available then they'll attend no matter when I have the party.

Saturday. Sunday we go to Church and do family oriented activities. If we do go to Sunday parties, it is typically better in the late afternoon / early evening.

Saturday all the way :). I hate Sunday stuff bc I need Sunday to mentally prepare for the week. When I have Sunday stuff I feel like I didn't get any rest. I'd rather overload a Saturday then have a Sunday party, but I would go if invited bc I realize people are different.

Saturday. For us, Sunday is a day to relax and prepare for the coming week.

Saturday. Most families make plans on Sunday so they are unavailable. We don't ever go to Sunday parties.

Saturday for friends. Either Saturday or Sunday for family.

Yep, Saturdays here. Sundays are way too busy with church morning till lunch time then during the school year we go back at 4:00 -6:15 for Awanas. I would more than likely decline a Sunday invitation unless it was a very good friend.

Saturday parties for us

for us Saturday works better unless it's an evening party on a Sunday. We go to church on Sunday mornings, and Saturdays we usually have no plans.

I prefer Sunday. Saturdays always have so much going on and are often too busy.

We are doing a Sunday birthday party next week. We always have a great turnout on either Saturday or Sunday and I really like having all of Saturday to prepare. We usually have a crowd of 30-40 with our close friends and family.

We arrive home from church at about 1pm and are ready for our guests to arrive in the 5 o'clock hour.

Saturdays are usually busy for us with sports, so there is a higher likelihood that we would have a conflict. But, if there wasn't a conflict with sports, I definitely prefer Saturdays. My kids often spend the weekend at their grandparents' house if our Sunday is free (they will go after we finish our Saturday activities), but if they have a bday party on Sunday, they can't go. They love going there and I love having a bit of a break!

Depends on the time of year. During T-ball season, I prefer Sundays but in the afternoon so we can go to church. Otherwise, generally Saturdays are better. But I evaluate invitations on a case by case basis. A conflict with a typical church service isn't usually enough to make me automatically decline.
