Shared Birthday

If you can afford separate birthday celebrations, then why not have 2 celebration. If you're on tight budget, having one celebration is good, after all they have the same birthdates. Just have 2 cakes, one for the boy and one for the daughter. You can invite his friends to come along and join the games and whatever fun tricks you want to have. Here, we have some restaurants who do the planning and the food preparation for birthday celebrations. It gives you time to enjoy the moments coz you dont have to worry on so many things. I wonder if you have that too in your place.

I think it will save you time and some money to have one theme. Anyway, celebrating their day is to show that you remember their special days. A wonderful birthday to them!

to minimize the expenses it better to make it one...but in any case much better if they separate...sometimes we did it at home if we are running out budget. LOL

That sounds great. Both kids sharing the same birthdate. As it is a Saturday you could have two parties at home. Have a family get together in the early evening or in the late morning. Your son will enjoy to pamper his litter kid sister when every one is around. You could put the kids to sleep in the afternoon and in the evening throw a bashful party for your son. If it is ok with you get two new dresses for both of them. Infact you will find that your son will forget that it is his birthday too. Instead of you deciding upon the themes and other stuff relating to party, have your son decide as to what kind of party he wants and who all to invite. This will give him more enjoyment and I am sure he will definitely take up these respnsibilities as a big brother.

My 2 boys are 4 years and six days a part. To make matter worse, they were born in Dec, the 6th and the 12th. I did both, when they were young I did the togethr Birthdays, in the teen years we did seperate. They both whined because it was also Christmas time. They would get all their goodies only once a year. However now that they are grown, I am lucky if I can get them to let me buy them a Birthday dinner and even then it is never on the day of their Birthday, but I always call and sing to them, always. *smiles* Good luck.

I've got 4 kids ranging from 3-10 so i am all for the combined birthday partyies. Just remember to do something special with or for him. It doesn't have to be anything big. I know my kids get all excited over the littlest things.

I really dont know what to tell you, but I'm going to be in an almost same situation soon. My son, who is now 3, his birthday is March 19th. I'm scheduled for my induction for this baby that I am currently having on March 18th. My advantage is they are both boys, I'm hoping to be able to have one birthday a year lol
