Celebrating birthday in advance, can or can not?

There nothing wrong if you want to celebrate your birthday in advance. Convenience often dictates the date when we celebrate birthday. When your birthday falls on a weekday, chances are only few people or worse none would be available for that day.

I dislike celebrate birthday in advance,I do like celebrate it on the day. If celebrate in advance,it is not the day of birthday.

It is not wrong, as long as you don't celebrate it a month in advance (lol). Usually when two person have the same month of birth then they will be celebrated some day in between, this can save a lot of money. We do that in my place and it is normal.

I feel that celebrating birthday is the point, so whether advanced or belated both are fine. If your b'day falls on a working day then advancing or postponing the celebration shouldn't be a problem. Once in a while is fine but not always :-)

People can celebrate their birthdays in advance.You can even celebrate it late.For me, its not the exact date of your birthday. The important thing is you remember it and especially those special people around you.

Birthday could have been ahead of schedule.people have called in advance to warm life.I also do not think there is a bad thing.Too late,It seems kind of increase is called life.But I prersonally think that as long as thier families and friends can celebrate the birthday important fact is that we get together with best wishes for you!!

personally, i would rather celebrate a 'belated' birthday rather than an advanced one.. just my own personal feeling that i should really live the day to celebrate it - not to happy to celebrate something which has not happen yet.. but i do understand your views - it is not easy to gather family members - and that is why my family celebrate birthdays in advance, too, sometimes...

Hi there, well i dont think there is wrong with that we also practice celebrating birthday in advance. My daughter's first birthday was celebrated advance before because her birthday fall during weekdays so only few families and friends will attend the party so we decided to move the day advance so everybody can attend her first birthday. Keep on mylotting.

I don't think there is anything wrong with doing it that way round - although I did used to know someone who thought that celebrating a birthday in advance was bad luck. I don't personally believe in things like that - you should do it however it makes you feel happy!

Hello vingyan06, where I come from, the culture is to celebrate your birthday earlier if the people are not able to make it on the actual day. I think this is a Chinese practice. have a nice day.

Hi Vingyan, we often do the same with birthdays in my family and among friends, and for the same reasons. We like to choose a day when all can be present so no one is left out! Karen

as for me my friend. it really doesnt matter whats important is when the day or exact day of your birthday you give thanks for it or go to church to ask say thanks for another year of your life. well here, we really do celebrate birthdays so to celebrate it its much more wonderful if we are complete in the family. so if it means that it must be moved or be in advance ofr our fellow family members can join the said event, then i guess it would be very fine. happy mylotting jhelai

Sometimes we celebrate early or the weekend after. It just depends. Sometimes we celebrate on the person birthday, but we do it late after everyone is off work. We really don't have a set policy here we just celebrate it when we can financially afford to do it, and we take into consideration if our family or friends will be available. I try to plan for the party at least about 3 weeks in advance because I think if we plan it too far ahead people might forget LOL. If we plan to close to the party people might not have enough time to clear their schedule too. Good discussion here, happy mylotting.

We always celebrated our birthdays late when I was growing up. If our birthday was on a Tuesday, the party wouldn't be until that Saturday, not the Saturday before. :) I think it was a cruel way for our parents to keep us in suspense about all the presents that much longer! I think it's a good idea to celebrate parties with family, though, and it doesn't matter if you do them early or late. It's always nice to have that time with the people that you love. My family used to be close, but it's gotten kind of distant over the years, but the one thing that still brings us together is celebrating birthdays, so it's always nice to have that one thing. Now that I'm moved out, too, I find that we celebrate birthdays early, too. For example, my husband's birthday is tomorrow, but I've already given him his present (a new laptop). I'll cook him a nice dinner tomorrow, too, but seeing as how we're 800 miles away from his family and mine, unfortunately we won't be having a party.

Sometimes I think celebrating somebody's birthday is like a big gathering for all the relatives and friends at one place so I think celebrating in advance like on Sundays or Saturdays is good so that everybody can be there. But wqhen it comes to like make a wish and have a real birthday cxake, it is still better to do so on the real birthday since that is the real one!;-) I usually just celebrate on the real birthday because I dont' have a lot of friends and my relatives are too far away to celebrate with me, so I just celebrate with my family.

I never celebrated my birthday in advance.I think it will not be funny and not exciting too.I like to celebrate on the date birthday more.However some friends who were busy sometime they celebrated for me in advance.

Hmm, Many people find it strange to do but I know many people who do this especially if the birthday timing does not suite their schedules. I have a fried who made her daughter's birthday in advance as she had to be out of town during her daughter's birthday. For me I think it is better to have it in that same day or why is it called a birthday :D However, if any or some of my friends cant do at their times I'd go to their party :D It is ok I guess. Thanks & Happy MyLotting

I start celebrating my b'day one week prior to the actual day.So its only upon the person how he celebrates.have a good day

Nothing matter to me,pleased as long as enough.

well its actually my birthday this sunday for which im going away on the saturday to a friends house to celebrate but as im a twin, we are going for a meal on the friday before i go so me and my sister can celebrate it together ( kinda ). so really it dosent matter what day you celebrate it on.. long as you have your family, friends or whoever you want around you it can be anytime ( within reason of course, celebrating 6months before hand is bit extreme )
