[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For her birthday this year DD chose several days in NYC instead of a party. We're going over her actual birthday (this Th-S) and will celebrate there. Both sets of grandparents are pretty upset about this (one local, one is like 4 hours away). They keep saying we aren't celebrating DD. We just spent the weekend with the 4 hour away grandparents and I sort of expected them to give DD her presents in person, but they didn't and didn't mention it. They keep asking when they can come up and celebrate her birthday, but the thing is- we aren't? Presents, cake and celebrating will be on her actual birthday up there. We invited both sets to come to NYC with us, but they declined. Local grandparents will be taking DD for a day the next week and having her spend the night to celebrate.

DH says that growing up he always had a family birthday party with cake, ice cream and relatives in addition to his friend party. I never lived near relatives and my grandparents would mail my gifts and call me instead. I had a friend party on the weekend.

Does anyone else do an extra party for extended family? [/quote]

Birthday celebrations of my children usually last for a week.  We have a celebration at home, usually cake, a movie or outing, and  take out dinner.  They usually get an expensive present from us.  Then we have a dinner celebration at some nice restaurant for the extended family. Usually they get money gifts from the extended family.   Then they have a big birthday party and invite their friends.  So, yes, my kids have at least 3 birthday celebrations.  [/quote]
