Birthday party a month after your actual birthday?

If you were away for a milestone birthday, would you hold a party a month after your actual birthday?

Personally I wouldn't bother to hold a party that long after my birthday.

It's a month due to family holidays and availability.

AIBU?

I wouldn't bother but I wouldn't be bothered if someone else did that.

I know someone who had a big party for her 50th nearly a year and a half later. Initially because of covid but then she thought having been stuck with a winter birthday all her life she would wait a bit longer and have a summer one, since it was "late" anyway. I went and it was great!

Why not? It's fine.

I wouldn't, but if someone I knew wanted to use a past birthday as an excuse for a party, I'd be very happy to go.

I went to a 60th birthday which was actually his 61 3/4 birthday because the original date was in lockdown and we had the best time but c.30% did catch covid

I had a milestone birthday party 364 days after the actual milestone!

Absolutely for a milestone birthday! I plan to be away for my 50th but will absolutely do a party at home too - either a few weeks before or a few weeks after.

It's fine.

If someone wants to have a party to celebrate, see friends and escape the dull monotony of life then who am I to stop them?
