Start time for 5 year old bday?? Please help!

I am trying to book my DD's 5th baday party and I am so torn of which start time. I am early in booking so we have our pick. Which start time would you prefer if you would going to a 5 year olds party?
-Keeping in mind most will have to drive at least 25 minutes. But afternoon/evening traffic is usually the biggest cause for that travel time and
- My DD really wants to have bagels instead of pizza.

So our choices are 10, 12, 2 or 4

Thanks!!

For that age and for what you want to serve to eat (plus sounds like later people will be in traffic) I'd do either the 10 or 12. Maybe even lean closer to 10AM bc I like to have the party early then have the rest of the day to go out with the kids, run errands, beach, pool, etc... in the summer.

I want to do the 10 am - my husband thinks its too early for people especially with the 20ish minute drive. It good to hear other moms say 10 lol.

10. Perfect time for bagels plus the party doesn't kill the whole day. It's nice to have it early and then have the rest of the day free.
