Please, no! I’d advise putting my start time on the invites and potentially starting 5 minutes later to allow for latecomers (if needed). The majority of parents are usually on time and arrive a little earlier.
If the invite start time is earlier than my start time, the children will arrive at the same time as me, and it can be awkward to load my stuff in, as I have a few big boxes, and the children can be difficult to pass, potentially becoming unsafe for them. Also, it can be tricky to park close to the door (or park at all) with all the other parents arriving at the same time. The children will watch me set up all the tricks, and it can spoil the show. Plus, if they get bored, they can start running, which can be hard work whilst setting up and unsafe for the children.
