Two birthday parties for twins?

Twin girls who are turning 7 soon. One would like a small thing at localish trampoline park 3/4 friends ( her friend did this recently much fun was had). The other one wants a bigger thing at home, we are rural so I thought maybe a treasure hunt/ outdoor stuff through the woods, hot chocolate and toasting marshmallows round a campfire type thing.

There is an overlap on friendship groups so some kids invited to both, would you do this? and if so how? Seperate weekends (birthday is midweek) Worth pointing out they have never had a proper birthday party 4th cancelled due to snow (day out with friends later)5th and 6th were covid. Carpe diem.

Not fussed at all about presents am happy to say no presents or that they will share but people will bring anyway tbh.

This sounds absolutely fine.

if you had siblings you wouldn't even give this a second thought - nor would you suggest they compromise and have one party at an agreed date so I never understand this. I think being a twin is hard - in no other relationship do you share your birthday.

I write this as a mother of twins too.

I like to encourage independence but another twin mother I know does everything the same. Horses for courses I suppose.

I would do both, they want different things, they're twins but are individuals. X
