Birthday party questions

We're having DD 5yo party at home and hiring an entertainer. Some questions:

- Do I put that we are having an entertainer (who is a facepainter, does magic, and is a balloonist) on the invite?

- Do you think a bounce house PLUS an entertainer is needed?

-Is 11am-1pm or 12-2 a better time? (Party will be on a Sunday)

Why am I overthinking this!?!

No need to add what is going on at the party on the invite. If it's at your house parents will know. Unless there's a pool then you don't have to put anything.

I prefer 11 - 1 better. This way the kids will eat at noon instead of coming more hungry. I also feel earlier parties gives you the rest of the day to do whatever.

Bounce house it totally up to you. If the magician is putting on a show then I don't think there's a need so the kids are all sitting down waiting for the show. They will entertain themselves outside running around. Give them some beach balls and have music playing they'll be happy.
