wdyt about a birthday party a month early?

[froggy76]

Definitely!

[CloudBee]

Do it. My sister has so many kids and such a busy schedule, that their parties are often the month before or after their birthdays. It's really common.

I would!

[atouchofklasse]

Yep!

[Ashley&Scott]

:y:

I say go for it, it's the only way these family member will be able to attend & parties are fun, especially for kids.

Sure, why not? Who would complain that you're having a birthday party and a convenient time/location?

[liveintheville]

Definitely.

[slug*bug]

I'd do it: I think it's a rarity that my nieces/nephews have parties on the day...or even the week of their actual birthdays.

I'd totally do it. My kids both have december birthdays and we tend to do them in November since December is often busy for a lot of people.

Most of her school friends with summer birthdays have their parties in June or September.

Do it! My DH's aunt had her DD's birthday (7) in August; her bday is in June. This is a normal thing for her & everyone is local.

Yup, do it! We had Em's 3rd birthday nearly a month early, in LA before we moved to Portland. Worked out fine.

[nabum]

Yes! Without a doubt!

Do it. We did E's 2 weeks early because he was having surgery 4 days before his birthday and I wanted him to be able to enjoy some cake instead of doing it 3 weeks late and maybe not healed completely from surgery.

Absolutely. One thing, though. I had DS's 1st b-day a week early. It felt weird! I felt weird singing to him, etc, and it wasn't REALLY his birthday. It's just a mental thing, and I wouldn't let it stop you. But just be prepared.

I think celebrating early with family is fine. Chuck e cheese would not be my first choice in location, that seems a little weird for a one year old.
