[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To boil your post down more, to make sure I understand -- your and wife's families are each coming to town at the same time. Both families want to celebrate a birthday over the time that they are visiting. Instead of being adults and sharing a celebration, they/you are proposing that one side or another drive multiple hours to have cake out of sight of the other family.

That's crazy. Get a cake (two if you absolutely must) and sing happy birthday to both. In the same room.[/quote]

OP here.  Yeah, that's basically it although the pressure is coming from my sister, not MIL/FIL.  Also, not for nothing, but the catalyst for the visit is the baby announcement party.

I like the idea of having the cake at the restaurant.  That's an excellent idea and would solve all of our problems.

Personally, I'm with you guys on adult bdays and don't care about mine.  Dinner out with DW and a hug/kiss and a happy birthday do it for me.  Sis isn't used to sharing because my parents are out of state as are her husband's so they never have to deal with splitting time for holidays so it's easy for everything to be about her.  [/quote]
