Is LO's party before or after their actual bday?

[pinkpeony6210]

Kate's birthday is 3/27, which falls on Wednesday, and I was planning on having her party on Saturday, 3/30. I'm having a dilemma because Easter is the next day, and I'm unsure if that's going to be a problem. My other option is to have it the Saturday before, but I'm being super lame, and really want her to be a year old when we celebrate. Petty, I know.

Violet's is 3 days after her birthday. I don't think doing it before is a big deal, though.

Cam's bday is a Friday, so we will most likely do the parties on Saturday and Sunday (we are doing two). So, after. :-)

D's is on the actual day because it is a Sunday. H's upcoming Bday is on a Weds and her party is the following Sunday because it was the best slot available at the bounce house place.

Zoe's birthday is on Easter this year, so her party will be the next weekend. Actually works out pretty well, since the theme is Unbirthday and it will actually be her Unbirthday if it's not on her birthday.

After. Only because my niece's birthday is the weekend before. Also, I am hoping an extra weekend into spring might give us a better chance to being able to be outside.

Lincoln's birthday is on a Thursday, so we'll have it that weekend.

I think we are going to do the week before because my parents are going to come down around Easter. I'm not doing anything big though.

On her birthday It's a Sunday.

If it wasn't, I'd do whatever would INCONVIENIENCE my mother most. I scheduled Edie's 1st and 2nd bdays around her and she's asking me to reschedule Adeline's bday around her. No thanks, Ma. Way to set priorities.

His real birthday is the ninth, his party is the sixth.

His birthday is a Monday, and the party is the Saturday before it. I would have prefered to do the weekend after his birthday, but a couple we are friendly with is getting married that weekend and the guest lists overlap.

G's is 3/26. We'll probably just combine his first birthday celebration with the family Easter meal that following weekend. I'm not sure whether we'll be with DH's family (local) or my family (OOT) for that holiday.

But I'm one of the posters who is having a low key, family party So don't listen to me!

Her birthday is on a Thursday so we will probably have a party on the following Saturday or Sunday. I'm probably going to make a little cake for just us to have on her actual birthday.

Pey's birthday is 3/14 and her party will be on Saturday 3/16.

Rational me says a party before the actual birthday is no big deal. Psychotic me says it's blasphemy to have a party before the actual birthday. I wouldn't move heaven and earth to do so, but I'd prefer it.

DDs birthday is on a Monday so I think we will be going with the Saturday before.

I use the if the birthday is before Wednesday, the party is the weekend before, if its after Wednesday its the weekend after. If its Wednesday, whichever weekend I want. Kalvin's is on 3/2, birthday is 3/1. His first party was 2/27. Katelyn's is 3/17, birthday 3/19. In 2 years we'll have combined parties the weekend in between.

Fact: my gestational carrier sucks and I never had a birthday party. She also has never gone to Kalvin's nor did she go to their christenings/parties. That's one of the many reasons she's been downgraded to gestational carrier.

E's party will be on his actual birthday (Saturday March 30) - he is having a joint party with my good friend's son (and his baby BFF) who turns 1 on the 23rd..

H's birthday this year is a Tuesday and his party will be the weekend after...the weekend before is the end of school vacation week so we like to avoid that.

That sucks about the gestational carrier. I hate that some people can't try to put in even a little bit of effort.

Her party will be on her actual birthday. Her birthday is on a Saturday, so we lucked out.

[bean47]

I'm really struggling with this! We can't do the weekend before or after, I feel like two weeks after is too far away but I'm not sure I have another choice it bothers me more than it should!

[mikehoncho]

His birthday is on like a wednesday? I think? We might wait till the 5th (Sunday) to do his party and then we will have mexican food for cinco de mayo

[mamasaurus]

I am going to decide by calling venues and seeing about their availability. Something may be booked for one of the weekends, so I want to stay flexible.

[EnchantedSoul]

It will be after. His bday falls on Easter, so we don't want to inconvenience anyone.

after for the same reason. Luke's is also on a wednesday.
But I am considering doing pro pics (and his first smash cake for the photos) the week before which i still feel guilty giving him cake before he's *really* 1.
