The best time to start a sleepover party is early evening. Sleepover party start times vary depending on the age and plans for the evening. However most parents start around 5pm. This gives enough time to fill their bellies with pizza and cake and squeeze in an activity before winding down. Now you might be saying, “Okay we nailed down a drop off time but when are these kids getting picked up?”

The best time to end a sleepover is between 9am-10am. I know, I know, it seems very early but it’s not and here’s why. Inevitably, no matter what the age there is always one early riser in the group, who wakes up around 7am and makes just enough noise to wake the rest of the pack up.
