When you be glad your children's birthday's within your kinfolk.?

Do you celebrate and have the party the hours of daylight of?

Or do you have it the weekend before/after?

Colten's birthday lands on a wednesday so I am just trying to figure this out.
If we're going to just celebrate between us, later I have it ON their birthday, no matter what day it is. But, if we're going to express joy with other family members and friends, I try to hold it closest to their birthday as possible. Parties are usually best for the weekends so it makes it harder. In case it lands on a Wednesday, I would rather own the party the weekend before.

My SIL had her son's 1st birthday knees-up ON his birthday, which was a Thursday at 2:30. makes it very intricate for those of us that have to work to be there.
When I was growing up, we had 7 family in our family, and we always celebrated birthdays on the actual morning. So far I've done the same for my own daughter, and I hope to continue that way. We never have big parties with a bunch of people over or anything though, it be just our immediate family. I suppose if you be planning a big party for friends, relatives and stuff, I'd celebrate the actual birthday with direct family, and then a party on the weekend near visitors.
If I am actually throwing a party, we'll enjoy it on a Saturday, since that's the day most people can come out. If no party afterwards we just have cake and ice cream at home on the actual light of day with just us at home.
Since he's be born he's only had one birthday... LOL

But - I had a cake for him on the daytime of his birthday, because it was a Friday, but his party was the Sunday after.

This year, his birthday is on a Saturday. BUT, near his birthday being on Halloween, I've decided to have his deputation the weekend before because I don't want to cut into the kid's trick or treating time.
Last year Landon's birthday fell on a Saturday, so I be lucky. This year I will have his party on the Saturday that is closest to his actual birthday.
Both of our kids' birthdays landed on weekdays this year so we have their parties the weekend before their birthdays so the grandparents and other friends and family don't enjoy to worry about taking off work.

It played out ably.

We fixed our kids' favorite meals on their actual birthdays and had a small homemade dirt cake :)
Answers:    Hey, appropriate question!! I've been wondering the same article. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. =) My daughter's birthday is on a Wednesday this year too, and my parents are coming in for her actual birthday (Wednesday) but I think I want a group on Saturday because that's when everyone else (close family and a couple friends) can make it!!

Can you believe our babies are going to be a year old?? I remembered count you as a contact because your son was born around the same time as my daughter...I think my daughter is a week or two elder. =)

You always seem to ask things I'm wondering...what do they say give or take a few that? great minds think alike lol.
We usually do the shindig the Saturday after their birthday, but I'll do something special just for them on the actual day, like special dinner (and unequivocally sing to them, even without the cake) or something.
In my family we'd other have the party on the closest weekend to the birthday. Once the kids were weak enough to understand when their actual birthday is we'd have a terrifically small celebration at home on the day of as well (just family and a small cake).
If it is just familial we do it on the day, usually lunch or tea. IF there are other friends being invited we in recent times do a cake on the actual day and have a party on a weekend that suits.
We delight their birthday on the actual birthday and then have the party on a weekend.
It's okay to hold it on a weekend when it fall's in the middle of the week. We recently did this with my grandaughter's b.d.
My twins will be 1 on a Saturday this year so we'll celebrate on their actually birthday. Personally I rise and fall depending on the day my birthday is and what's going on around the date. For example, my daughter's birthday is 28th February and February half term is around near so we have to take holidays into account.

Is in attendance a weekend that you're family can get up easier? Or would you prefer to celebrate on a Sunday (before) or Saturday (after)?
