When considering the length of your party, consider your guests. If it's a younger crowd and I'm talking teens, you want to start earlier on a day. If it's an older crowd, generally think about starting at about 6 and ending it about ten. If it's people in their twenty's and thirty's, well you are not going to get them to the party 'til about nine, so I'd go nine to one.
