I have 7 kids

we share big birthday parties with the WHOLE family (we combine cousins b-days too), but we also have a small (people that live in our house) on the day of their real birthday!

WE HAVE 3 BIG PARTIES A YEAR
~~~We have 1 March, 1 April (cousin has a march)...2 more Cousins in March (siblings to each other that sometimes have the party with ours and sometimes does not)
~~~we have 2 Junes (cousin has 1 in july and 2 cousins in august)
~~~we have 3 October (cousin has 1 in november)



Well all have large families and our kids are involved in ALOT of stuff, so this is the way that we have found that the WHOLE family can help celebrate the birthdays of all off the neices, nephews and our own kids with the least amount of cost to feed everyone (25-30 people).


The kids do not feel slighted at all, they actually enjoy sharing their parties....and having a second party for the immediate family on their real birthday.
