2 Birthdays 9 days apart

I'd have to say separate, just in my opinion. That way they each get to have their own special day. As for having so many birthdays in a month, I know where you are coming from. My birthday is March 30th, and on my 7th birthday, my brother was born, so we are both on March 30th. Then my oldest daughter was due on my 19th birthday, but she came early and is on March 25th. It is a very busy week for us :)

I would have theirs together on your 3 year olds birthday. That way they both know they are very special. On the one year olds birthday I would have a couple of gifts and a cake with ice cream. Videotape it so she will be able to view for every birthday. Keep a journal of all the little things she says and does and what everyone in the family is currently doing. This is a great way to let her feel as part of a wonderful family. My daughter is 7 now and she adores watching herself and seeing the family.

at that age they don't know about birthdays they just like to have a party and the attion that you give them now so just have them together for now but when the three is about five they shoud have there one day so I hope this healp you out

I think right now while they are little have them together. When they get older and can really understand ask what they want to do. Once they get older they won't want to have them together. Plus how do you pick on who's birthday do you have it on. Or do you say in the middle of the two dates. Let them get older and they pick.

Sure, the more the merrier. And I think your relatives will thank you for having to come to only one party!

well at home me and my brother we 11 day aprt that is in november but wat ma mum used to do was put the birthdays together hope that helps

My children both have birthdays in the same month. One is ont the 1st and on is on the 27th. I had there parties together this last year for financial reasons. If I could afford to I would probably have them seperatly though. I don't think it is all that big a deal in the long run :) Good luck whatever you decide.

Hi denyel! Welcome to Mylot! Ihope you enjoy it as much as I have. I think celebrating both together will be fine. I have 2 birthdays coming up as well. My neice's birthday is on March 9 and my dad's is march 12.

If you want to save do it together but if you are concerned about how special this event will be for each of them then I suggest do it separately. Every kid wants to be the star of their own party so I'll go do it separately..

If I were in your position I will make it a double celebration. It will be more fun, plus financial wise, you will be saving a lot than having separate celebration. I have friends who have done this already and I don't think you're taking away anything from your daugthers if you celebrated their birthday on the same day. What my friend did is she just had a single invitation for both of them but it is clearly mentioned in the invitation that it is the birthday party celebration of her 2 kids. Then she have separate birthday cakes and separate birthday banner. Then of course during the candle blowing ceremony, she had both of their kids blow their own birthday cake. By doing this, both of your kids is the center of attention of the party and nobody gets left behind.

Me and my sister have birthdays 2 weeks apart exactly. We didnt have many parties as kids. But sometimes we would celebrate both birthdays together. It was a fun thing to do for kids. I dont see a problem w/birthdays so close being celebrate together. Especially if some of the people are too young to know. Go for it, but ask them first. You never know till you ask what the people involved will think of it! :))

Hi denyel, I think my first question would be... If they celebrate it separately, will it be comfortable with your budget? financially speaking, if you can afford it, then why not, if you think any of your kid might get upset, then give their day on what they wanted it... we always wanted whats best for them right? but practically speaking, of course, having it done at the same time will save you a lot of money and time... Ask your husband.. maybe he can talk to your kids (since he will also be celebrating his birthday soon) and he can give you the best advice... Have a good day denyel...

We have 5. My friends son is turning 12. My sister and her best friend, Katy, on the 25th. My daughters' fiance and Katy's fiance on the 30th. The two fiance's and Katy all live in the same house.

I'd have them on separate days. You don't want you 3 year old to feel your 1 one is taking up some of the shine on her special day. I know it is kind of hard to have two parties so close together but sometimes kids get upset if they have to share their party. I've seen this a couple of times because most of my family was born in January.

I would celibrate it together while they still are so young. When they get older I might do 2, since they probably will have different friends and interests. Just put the focus on the three year old who understands whats going on, but still include the one year old =)

I have so many birthdays in March, my two step daughters birthdays are March 2 and March 27, then my stepson's girlfriend is the same day as mine March 31 and then my boyfriend's birthday is April 2, we also have his stepdaughter has a birthday in March as well as her two sons .. separate parties for everyone concerned

I think at their ages it would be fine to have one together. My daughters birthday is March 5 and my son's is March 25th, so we have a little more of a gap. But my parents birthdays are 1 day apart, and we celebrate them together, but they are adults. As long as you have something for each of them, I don't see the problem of celebrating it together.

I think it will be ok to have their b-days together. My friend is doing this. She's having the party together for both of the kids at this place where they have a ton of inflatables to play on. They are going to do a little something for the 1 year old first and then the party begins for the 3 year old. Then everyone can play. I don't think it's taking it away from the 3 year old. To be honest, my 2 year old will be 3 in April and he still is pretty young to get into the whole b-day thing I think. They will both just be excited I think.

I think you should have the parties together becuse it will be way cheaper and i know hw you feel because my brother's bithday is like a day after christmas

I would have them each a seperate birthday. I think especialy for the 3 year old that it is important to make sure she knows that the day is for her. Even if the 1 year old didnt understand it would be great for her to feel so special and get that kind of attention. I know it is complicated to have party after party. My son and my dads birthday is on the same day. We celebrate together and then we have a seperate party later.
