Thread: What time does your party start?

Tweet

I had my first party last year and had it start at 7:30. Most people didnt arrive until at least 8 oclock. Should I change it to be at 8 this year? What time do you have your parties? Just trying to see what every does for their party? Thanks for your input!

I start my Scavenger hunt at 6:15 and the Party at 8. Most people are there by 8:30 and I usually do the Costume and scavenger hunt prizes around 10-10:30.

I say 4 and have people work their way in and out all night. Starting around 6 with waves coming and going through out the night. No one ever arrives at the posted start time. Who wants to be the first to arrive anyway?

I'm having people come around 7 and it will last until 12 or 1. I'm still in High School so there shouldn't be much of this coming and going stuff.

I start mine at 8 because it is dark enough at that time to make everything look scary.

I say you leave it at 7:30, but expect them at 8:00.

If you change it to 8:00, they'll probably show up at 8:30. Can't be the first ones there, you know.

I start early - 5pm, murder mystery starts at 6pm sharp and then people still have their wits about them to solve the murder before they hit the Witches Cauldron of power-packed punch! Learn from my experiences on that one - if you're having activities that require thinking plus booze, activities first, booze second, or early enough so that people won't get so ripped and can't finish the activity.

I have mine party start at 4pm this year and They either come or show up a bit late and the party keeps going until.... God knows what time it ended....

We always start ours at 6, but this year we're moving it to 5. It usually goes till about 11 when the final person leaves. I always have 1 or 2 "close" friends that stick around and we pop on a horror movie and chill for a couple hours.

I am going to keep it at the same time. I figure people will show up whenever they want to , no since in "planning" when they will arrive.
