At Hardy Soft Play Hire, we know that planning a child’s birthday party can feel like a juggling act—finding the right venue, securing entertainment, and trying to fit everything around busy weekend schedules. But what if we told you that booking a party on a school night could actually make the whole process easier? Here are eight great reasons why a weekday after school party might be the perfect solution for your child’s next celebration.
More Choice of Items: Since most of our bookings happen over the weekend, choosing a weekday means you’ll have more availability of our bouncy castles, soft play, fun foods, and giant games, making it easier to secure the perfect items for your child’s big day.
More Venue Availability: Popular venues tend to book up quickly on weekends. By planning for a school night, you'll have more flexibility in choosing the perfect party location.
Focused Fun: Fewer weekend distractions like sports or family outings mean your guests can fully enjoy the party without feeling rushed or juggling other plans.
Beat the Weekend Rush: With a midweek party, you'll avoid the busy weekend party circuit, making it easier for you and your guests to travel and enjoy stress-free fun.
Midweek Excitement: School nights can often feel routine for kids, so why not surprise your little one with an exciting event that breaks the monotony? A midweek party will give them something to look forward to all week!
Easier Guest Attendance: Holding the party straight after school at a nearby venue means parents can bring their child without needing to make an extra journey, saving time and making it more convenient for everyone to attend.
Flexible Timings: We can set up the party equipment earlier in the day if it’s more convenient for you, so there’s no last-minute rush. This gives you plenty of time to prepare and ensures everything is ready for when the children arrive, making the whole process smoother and stress-free.
Unique Experience: Midweek parties feel different, which can make your child’s event extra special. It’s not just another weekend activity—it’s a standout celebration that will be remembered.
3 Reasons Why You Might Reconsider a School Night Party
While there are plenty of advantages to a weekday party, there are also a few factors to consider:
School the Next Day: Hosting a party on a school night means being mindful of how late the event goes. You’ll want to ensure the kids aren’t too tired for school the following day.
Busy Schedules: Parents and guests may have commitments like work or after-school activities, which could make weekday attendance tricky for some families.
Limited Time: Unlike weekends, where you can plan for longer celebrations, a weekday party may need to be slightly shorter to fit into everyone’s evening routines. However, for most families, a two-hour party is often plenty of time to enjoy the festivities!
