August born Ds is starting pre-school in September, so I am aware that he will potentially be invited to parties and I would like to throw a birthday party for him and invite classmates.
However, as I am also August born, I remember quite well how my birthday was forgotten about by everyone at school, every summer.
So to avoid this issue, I am planning on throwing ds's birthday party a month early each year, so his classmates can attend as I appreciate their families may have other plans during the summer holidays.
Is this really weird? I never actually had a birthday party, so I'm not quite sure of the etiquette here.
Tbh it would also save a lot of hassle to do it a month early as his birthday is very close to mine, so I take that week off work each year so we can holiday/do things as a family and a birthday party in the middle of it could be difficult, logistically.
