2 ? about 9 year old boys birthday party?

Question

Is a laser tag birthday party a good idea for a 9 year old boy. I was thinking about going to laser quest. Do the games last a little while ? I wouldn't want it to go to fast.

Also what day is better for bday party Sat. afternoon or Sunday afternoon. He goes to a chatholic school so I wouldn't want to interfere w/church but some people have plans on sat. So what day is normally better for people ??

Answer 1

laser tag is an awesome idea.  ask the staff how long the games typicaly last.  Usually you are given so many lives and when your "lives" are used up, your gun won't work anymore.  My brother is 14, but since around the age of 9 has been into paintball, laser tag, etc.    I would say saturday afternoon for the party, but if people have plans then that's a problem, especially since it is summer.  So, given that Sunday should be ok.  I don't know how mass times work at your parish, but at the church I grew up in the last mass was at 11 and there was a night mass at 7 (5 on saturday).  Is sunday a major family day for the families?  For my friends it really wasn't.  I actually remember going to quite a few sunday afternoon parties around his age and everyone showed.  Sounds like his party will have fun.

Answer 2

Laser Tag would be awesome! There are usally different timed games, but you could play a couple of rounds.

A saturday would be the best.. sunday mass usually goes for awhile and then people are tired and hungry after church. Saturday church is normally at night - anywhere from 5-9 probably

Answer 3

Our kids have had laser tag games at their parties, and they were always a load of fun.  Note, however, that the games were only _part_ of the party, as the rounds only last about 5 or 10 minutes, I think.  Don't expect an entire party of laser tag.

We invited siblings as well, and all the kids, ranging from 4 to 11 had a ball.  (Though the younger ones did need some help from their parents, mostly because the vests were too big.)

We usually have the parties on early Saturday afternoon.

Answer 4

Saturdays are best.  Sundays are usually church and day of rest for most.

Answer 5

good idea. but they dont last like a LOOONGGG time. do something after. like a little party in the backyard. just like i did. for my 8th bday my friends and i went chuckee cheeses and after we went to my house. it was fun.
