Ok - I know - I'm full of questions. But i am sooooo happy that this forum exists. And it looks like you guys can make it look like you really know what you're talking about. So, here's another question: How long do you stay at a party? For my duaghter's 7th birthday a few years ago, we had a costume party - for which I, of course, broke out the clown suit. I think the mistake we made was time - 3 hours. I think we could have done it in 2 or 2½ - that's when I seemed to be losing the kids' interest. But , over all I guess we didn't do too bad for a super-novice hap-harzard party. It was , afterall, the social event of the year!

So, How long is too long?
