[quote=Anonymous]My friend has two girls with birthday within days of each other in September, which is arguably a much easier month than June in terms of competing events and demands. One year they combined, had catering, and invited family and adults- that was too much but we still all remember it as the most epic day ever.

She now has a party for one of them on Saturday and one of them on Sunday. Food and cake and setup is the same, even if the activities are different. The girls coordinate decorations (some years this was harder than others because of their age gap). All that has to be done in between is washing serving dishes and resetting paper goods. It's still a huge weekend of work every year and a lot of us moms end up coming both days to help. They do include family in both or either days, so that takes off the pressure of a whole separate family day. As the girls have gotten older, family will just arrive for cake at the end and join for a casual dinner after.

A third kid in the mix is hard, though! Unless you did it over Memorial Day weekend?

My DD doesn't like parties so we always go away for a 3-day ski vacation. A long weekend away and maybe a small outing with 1-2 friends over the course of a couple of weeks is probably a tradition that the kids can grow into once they're older.[/quote]
