How should I celebrate my twins birthday?

Question

My twin girls 1st birthday is coming up. Kylee was born at 11:47 pm and Kenadee was born at 12:03 am. I am wondering if we should celebrate their birthdays together or seperate. I know when they are older it will be something that they may like and technically they do have different birthdates. Should I just shut up and celebrate one big party and give them they actually days of their own?

Answer 1

For your own sanity, do one.

For their special bond, do one.

When they are old enough to have an opinion (sooner than you think), then reconsider your idea.

For now, pick the date that is best for scheduling for you and the guests.

You are sweet to be so concerned about this! Only a mama understands the importance of birthdays! It's the day I miss mine the most!

Answer 2

That's neat! I think as they are older it'll be so nice for them to have their "own" special days. However at this age I would do a combined party. They won't remember and it's easier on you and family to have one event. Even as they are certain ages I'd imagine you would still have a combined party (usually birthday parties aren't on the actual date anyway) but maybe do something special for each girl on "her" day. That could be so neat as they get older. My boys are 4 though and still don't seem to mind "sharing" the birthday. It's neat you have a choice!

Answer 3

At such a young age do one party for the both of them. Once they get older try having a "special day" for each of them (an activity with mom and dad they choose them maybe their own dinner out.) then a party together.

Answer 4

I think that's pretty KOOL! Anyways, maybe have a "family celebration" and make them a princess for the day and let them chose something special they would like to do. Otherwise, have one "Party" for them together. They probably have the same playmates. Just a thought...Good luck

Answer 5

Thats cool! :) Well while they are this little one big party for both but a next year when they are 2 say they are lucky because they both have a 2 day birthday.

They both get the pressies spread out on the 2 days (so 2 mornings of both opening gifts!!) but girl each has their one actual birthday event to chosse the family celebration - one might choose a family meal at a resturant for her 'birthday special day' and the other girl may choose to go to a playground for her 'birthday special day'. Even if they both choose the same activity still do them as seperate events (even if that means dinner at Mcds 2 night in a row!) They can grow up feeling happy that they have 2 birthdays!! - not many kids can brag that!!! :)

As they get older they might decide that they would like to have totally seperate days and that would then be fine. While they are really little it might be quite hard for them to manage one of them gettng presents oneday then the very next day the focus is swiched to the other girls birthday. By both having 2 days between them then its an extended celebration for both!

Wow what fun you have ahead!!! I would love to have twins!!
