to how long after the birthday you can have the party? Willow turns 2 on July 1. I wanted to have the party on a Sunday, since we were going to invite three little ones, their parents, my parents, my husband's parents, and my husband's sisters, who all work. Problem is, July 3 is going to be a very busy day for everyone, with the holiday and all, especially my parents and the in-laws (the in-laws own a resort, my parents work at a campground and convenience store, and my dad is on-call for a boat towing/salvage diving service). So, the plan was to move the party to the next Sunday, but then i found out that another grandma, aunt, and cousin were going to be in town on the weekend of the 17th...sooo...i want to do it then, and just have a monstrosity of a party, lol. I highly doubt that Willow will care (heck, she may not notice) that the party is not on her real birthday, but is there anything else wrong with doing it two weeks late?
I think as long as you do something small on her birthday, as small as giving her a happy birthday hug even, it doesn't matter that the party's a little late. Hell, my parents gave me my High School graduation gift (my computer) right before my second semester of college! But I still appretiated it just as much as if they had given it to me in June of last year. Just seeing them at graduation made me happy. But I'm keeping the computer.
I don't really think there is a limit at that age because most likely they won't remember what happened when... like feministhippy said you can do something small on your little one's bday or you can just wait two weeks, I don't see anything wrong with that... My little one is turning two on July 1st too, go figure... Misha.
I agree with have the party when it fits everyone's schedule. Now a July birthday in October might be a bit late, but not two weeks. Go for it. Hey my little guy will be three on July 1. What's with all these little firecrackers? I wonder what was going on nine months ago? Kathi
No problem at all. Moon has an August B Day and Sunshine has a June B Day and we would often have them at the same day. Kids don't care. We just do a "family only" party on the actual birthday. Just mama and daddy and kids, then we do a BIG B DAY when we can invite people. Kids don't mind two parties, and the one for just you and your babies and your dh is just like dessert after dinner, with cake and presents. My kids love doing this.
Same over here as Kids. My brother was born on July 21, I was born 11 month eralier on August 21. Since the lil age difference, we almost had the same friends (just a few exceptions), we had our parties together, as Kids. That usually meant, it wasn't on one of the birthdays.
Hahaha! i guess Willow must have been my husband's birthday present (his birthday is October 1) lmao! The other two kids were born/due at the end of October, so i'm blaming an early February anniversary
