Saturday or Sunday for home b-day party?

Would you prefer holding your child’s b-day party on a Saturday or Sunday if both were available? It’s at our home, for about 40 people (in backyard). Late-June. Their b-day is during the week, so that's a non-issue.

Pro for having it Sunday is that I have Saturday to prep. Pro to having it Saturday is that I have a day (Sunday) after the party to finish cleaning up/looking at presents with the kids, since I have to work on Monday.

For some reason I’m having a hard time making a decision about what day to do. We did a Saturday last year b/c it was a weekend later, and July 4th was the Sunday so we did the day before.

I've done both and I've been to parties on both days. Whatever is more convenient for you.

I'm a fan of Saturday parties for myself or as a guest. For myself... I can get things done the weekend b4 and/or night b4. After the party if it's late cleaning up no stress about staying up late since it's a Sat.
You have Sun also to finish whatever and just relax b4 the week starts.

As a guest I don't have to worry about getting myself and the children home on time. I can enjoy the party... no worries and relax on Sunday

We did Saturday and it was wonderful having Sunday to "relax", clean up and still have a bit of a weekend...

Re: Saturday or Sunday for home b-day party?

I am doing Saturday this year for the 1st time.

I loved doing Sunday because I had the day to prepare before.

But doing Saturday will allow me (well DH since I work on weekends) to have time to clean up for Monday.

My vote is Saturday so that you can recoup on Sunday.

For me, DH works Sat so we do Sunday. Actually a bunch of our friends and some family work Saturday too. I really like having Sat. to get ready.
