[quote=Anonymous]I am unclear whether either Jen or Kim is actually trying to host a birthday party for their child so their child can have fun celebrating their birthday OR if they are trying to host family get togethers and slip in the birthday party as a bonus.

Families do not need to attend every child's birthday party. it's really ok if they don't and most of them don't really want to anyway despite they way the effuse and tell you they do.

If you want to host a family get together, do so when you can and feel free to provide a cake at that time for your child and call it a late bday celebration. No 3 yr old I have ever met is unhappy to have cake or turn down the chance to blow out candles.  They also are happy to celebrate their birthday over and over again.

If you want to host a birthday party for your child, pick a date, venue, them, whatever, make a guest list that includes children that your child actually knows and send out invites. Some people will make it and some won't. It won't be any less exciting or special to a 3 yr old because they honestly don't care.  They have friends, they eat cake, maybe some ice cream and run around and play. They are happy.  [/quote]
