Should I ask the children to come earlier?
For 1 hour games show:
Best invite the children 30 minutes before the performance.
For 1.5 hour games show + face painting
Best invite the children 30 minutes before the performance. (Face painting works best as the children have their party food)
For 1.5 hour games show + pass the parcel and wand making
Invite the children the same time as the performance. The entertainer will meet and greet the children as they come in and play fun warm up games.
This leaves the last half an hour for your party food.
