Kelsey Haywood Lucas arranged a joint birthday party for her daughter and son, starting at 8 a.m. Despite not being a morning person, she preferred this timing for several practical reasons. Past afternoon parties felt overwhelming with guests arriving simultaneously, whereas the morning format promoted a more relaxed atmosphere. Lucas prepared the night before, simplifying setup. The party featured various activity stations for children and allowed adults to socialize over coffee, culminating in a birthday song when most guests had arrived before noon.
Lucas decided to throw a joint birthday party for her 6-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son starting at 8 a.m., which surprised many but worked well for the participants.
She explains that previous parties in the afternoon were overwhelming as guests arrived all at once and made for a hectic atmosphere, prompting her to change the timing.
This time, the morning party allowed for a more relaxed atmosphere with staggered arrivals, easier food preparation, and cooler weather, appealing to both kids and parents.
With about 15 children attending, various pre-set activity stations were available, giving kids options while adults enjoyed coffee and socialized together.
