I have twin boys as well as a third boy a little younger whose birthday is within a month of the twins. I have had a combined venue party for all 3 of them. Those venues are expensive and I (and many others) cannot afford to throw 3 parties like that per year. However, I can have each child invite 6 friends and get the whole thing over with all at once in a 3 for 1 deal. Fortunately, they are all boys whose interests mesh well.
