At this point I book a venue 2-3 months out, get a cake the day before and that’s it.

I assume all parties are at home then. No venue parties I assume but that is still cutting it close.

We plan beginning four months ahead because you sometimes have to reserve the date three months ahead. No Pinterest board though.

Invites go out a month before - phone, paper, email. Basically, after solidifying that my core group of guests are available and have agreed to attend on that date.

With 4 kids, depending on their spread for birthdays (our is only 6 weeks) I could see myself planning virtually year round. Just to make sure I didn't miss anything. Listening to what they like, etc. I don't think it's a crime to want your kids to looks back on their birthdays as special (not necessarily expensive) because someone took the time to really plan for them as an individual.
