[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids born in the same 3 week span (including a set of twins). To complicate things further, all were born during winter holiday season.

Has always been a challenge.

The twins are boy/girl and have not wanted parties together since they started kindergarten or 1st grade.

We simply have never done large birthday parties for every kid every year. Usually we only do 1 or 2 parties, and the other kid/kids do something else (like special outing & bring 1-2 friends or have maybe 4-5 kids over to the house for a small lowkey party) etc.  We always tried to sweeten the deal for those not having a big party and it generally worked.

My last is finishing up elementary school, and I think each kid ended up having 2 or 3 huge parties? And usually those were scheduled weeks in advance of or after their birthday due to the struggles with holiday season.

Fortunately this issue starts to disappear around 3rd grade once kids start having smaller parties.

I think you could go either way…you could set limits as we did, or you could just suck it up/outsource/do whatever you need to do to make it work. Convincing any of them to do a venue party would take a lot of the work off of your shoulders. Or if you have the $, hire a party planner maybe? [/quote]
