Is having my kids birthdays together a good idea or a bad one?

They're going to be 6 and 4, both boys. They both like Spiderman, so that's an easy sell on the cake and whatnot. My youngest son's bday is two days after Christmas which means many friends are out of town. My oldest son is the 2nd week in January. So, I was thinking, why not do a joint party this year, say, like the first week in January. We're thinking about renting out a jumper house place, with 8 or 9 different jumpers. Is it mean to combine their parties? Or will it be just as fun for them? They're best buds and do everything together and money is strapped this year, so economically its the best decision. I just don't want to ruin anything for them. Any suggestions?

    It is a BAD idea to combine children's birthdays for alot of reasons. They do not reflect on it well. Additionally, they are greatly confused and may fight during it.

    However, you may want to have THREE things if you want to pull off what you have planned.

    Two would be small things for their actual Birthdays.

    One would be the large Birthday Party with everyone invited.

    That way they still have their unique and established birthday where they know all their gifts are their own and the day is all about them.

    But with the party in the center, they can get larger gifts and everyone can visit them.

    Obviously, do not rent stuff and go nuts on their actual birthdays. The people in their household will want to give them their gifts on their actual birthday. Their cake and party favors don't have to be nuts. But there should be a cake so everyone gets one slice. This will be their emotional and established birthday.

    The party between will be for friends and extended family. It will be when you can go nuts on party favors, cake, and attractions.

    If i seem at it from the clever attitude, curiously like your thought is super, regardless of the shown fact that, babies are infrequently useful. A birthday is meant to be your specific party, you mustn't might desire to share the spotlight with anybody else. additionally, babies whose birthdays are on the brink of Christmas often get form of shafted on their birthdays because it extremely is, are you able to think of somebody asserting "enable's rejoice 2 months early because of fact in any different case your birthday would be an inconvenience to anybody". My mom in regulation nonetheless feels this way on the age of sixty two. Her birthday is Dec. twenty 8th, and all her mum and dad ever did exchange into carry back certainly one of her Christmas provides (in Christmas wrapping) and supply it to her on her birthday. How unfair. My birthday is Feb 3, and being that anybody exchange into constantly burned out from holiday journeys, and broke besides, I by no potential have been given a undeniable party the two. it extremely is something nonetheless hurtful to right now time. you're extra effective off attempting to save up some money with the aid of the twelve months for the babies to have man or woman events. whether which potential they might desire to be slightly extra toned down. this is an thought: have a huge bash in October for all their pals (yet call it a Halloween party, no longer a party) and in basic terms a small cake and ice cream celebration for the babies on their birthdays. specific, they are actually not likely to get a collection of crappy provides from their pals, yet a minimum of they are going to get a undeniable party recognised in basic terms for them.

    That's a great idea! have each invite 12 friends. Nice decorations, plenty of food, and make sure each one of your sons are having fun. Besides that this is a YaY!
