Are you in the bridal party? If not, how would you feel about having it after her party?
Would they be coming?

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
I think since it's his ACTUAL birthday you should be entitled to the day and *demand* (like her) that SHE pick another day!

I am not in the bridal party, but showers are all day affairs, so I don't think it would really work.
Yeah, they'd be coming. I have a small family, and if that side didn't come, it wouldn't be worth having the party.

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
I would personally do it the day before on the 25th. Not that a bridal shower trumps a childs birthday but I would do this as not to cause waves in the family. If you had something on the day before then I would understand - but if it's open I would do it then!

That's really annoying that she's choosing to do it that day after you mentioned it to her months in advance. I still stick with what I said - but I would be a little annoyed with her!

wow, she's a piece of work huh? I'd say the day before, but I'm wondering if that might be too much for some family members to give up an entire weekend for 2 parties - someone might miss out (hopefully it would be her  )
Maybe the week after would be better?

I was also thinking of having a separate kid party on the 25th....so if I do the 25th, then I can't do that....
So annoying! I don't understand why her friend's due date comes before her own family!

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
Did she demand the day or maybe just ask for it? I know whn I was getting married there were some PO people because it was the same day as someones bday...I had no clue, I never demanded anything...so maybe just ask her about it...
As for me For a second bday I would just have it another day to avoid drama, especially since the bridal date is picked already right?

Do you mean the wedding date? That is July 18th, so she could do the shower in May...

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
It's a tough one, because you don't want to upset anyone, but you do have a valid point.
Is her pregnant friend in the wedding party? Just curious...
If it were me, I would just do it either the day after or the week after. I know it stinks, but if his birthday didn't fall out on the weekend, you probably would have done the same thing anyway.
If it makes you feel any better, my DD was born on the 4th of July, so we try to never have her party on that day because everyone is away!!! (sorry, just trying to make you smile)

The day after is a Monday
No, the pregnant friend is not in the wedding..
Thanks....I am just annoyed that she constantly makes things difficult...this does NOT have to be an issue, you know?

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
I'd have it the week after (I'm superstitious as well) and I'd constantly find ways to remind her that she $ucks for competing with a 2 year old.

 This is what I was thinking when I saw that Kate already asked her to not do that date.
Kate...did you talk to your mom about it? What does she think? I would say that if your cousin has no concern for C3's birthday then nothing is going to change her determination to have that date...and with that I would suggest moving the family party to the next available weekend and send out the invites on the earlier side...this way your notification comes first

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
I don't think it is worth starting a family fight over it. Just have the party the Sat. before or the week after! Maybe have the little kiddie party on the 25th and the famly party the week after?

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
Wasn't there an issue last year with is 1st birthday party?? It may or may not be the same person but I remember there ben an issue on someone not being there.
I'm with you with having it after the 3rd. I hate having the party before even though I just might have to do it this year for Ayla.

Re: Alright....what do I do here? DS' second birthday
If it were me, I'd just do the Brithday Party the weekend after the shower - You don't HAVE to have a party on the day of his BDay - (this is also coming from someone who's Birthday is Dec 22 - so my birthday parties were ALWAYS done way before or after Christmas)
I don't think it really matters WHEN you celebrate with the family, as long as you celebrate.

For this reason alone, I'd have it on that day and send out the invites next week as a PP suggested! She's got some ballss, huh?
Let HER go crazy changing the date -- why can't she have it the weekend before (so her 'friend' (who happens to trump family ) doesn't miss out?)
