because our babies are all born in the same month we tend to have birthday parties every week for a whole month which can get a bit out of hand. sometimes even one day each weekend. this year i suggested that we start thinking about organising the dates so that there arent two in the same weekend. DD's bday falls on a sunday so i took that one. however, a friend of mine is taking the saturday just before it! her childs birthday isnt til the monday. i am just a little disappointed because i have a feeling some of the other people will go to hers and then get too exhausted to go to ours the day after (some have new babies and i woundt want to go to two in a row with a new baby). we are hiring a party service this year so i dont want to pay this money and then have last minute drop outs. just a bit of a vent. how do you guys handle birthday parties in your mothers groups?
