Twins Birthday-one Is Today the Other Is Tomorrow

Wow twins with their own day - yeah. They make act alike but they have something very special. You could alternate in coming years which day you celebrate or have it on a weekend for both. They may change what they like and who the like and it may mean separate parties but until then just enjoy them as they are. They don't really care right now about what day as long as they have a party and friends.

Enjoy the time with them and enjoy the holidays.

The other S.

That is soooo cool that they are twins and have different bdays. ive never heard of that b4. I do think u r making too big a deal about what day u do things on. As long as u do them as a family thats all that matters!

I am a twin and I can tell you if you can celebrate a day a part how cool is that!! That way they each have a day of their own....You can just imagine how my sis and I got called the twins...Twin 1 or Twin 2 or Pete and Repeat and we shared many...many things..!!! My kids who are different ages and are very young are being taught that each has their own birthday and it is their's alone...Good luck...

I used to do daycare for a set of twins like this. One was 11:41 pm, the other 12:01 am the next day. We did little things to seperate the days, but for their family wide party, they had one big one, along with their older sister who is 2 years older, but the date is within a few weeks (and many of their wider family traveled from a neighborning state.)

Are they a bit older? I would ask them what they think. The ladies I cared for are just 5 now, so still dig a slight seperation..and love the shock value with their pals that they are twins, but different birthdays!

Feel better and have fun with all the celebrating!

Awesome their birthdays are on separate days. I would just take them both out together due to the circumstances.. .one is probably only a few minutes later right? My boys birthdays are almost a month apart and we often celebrate their birthday together (since they are still so young), then on their actual day, I will just make them brownies or something ,so you can still do something special for each on their own day.

At 8, they are probably into nail polish. You can get some really decent priced stuff at the drugstore. Then you can spend a little one on one time with each one giving them manicures :) It only takes a few minutes to pick up something like that. Maybe throw in some neutral eye shadow or even clear mascara (for dress up at home).
Let each girl pick her favorite meal for dinner. That always makes kids feel special.

You might want to also use this as a learning opportunity. If you let both of them know you can't do all that you would like this year for them because you are/were sick and maybe do something small but special. You could sit with them and tell them a story or about the day(s) they were born and have tea. Some small out of the ordinary jesture to let them know they are special but isn't added work for you since you are probably still recovering.

Don't bog yourself done on doing something special on 'the day'. As long as you do something special for thier birthday, the actual day you celebrate doesn't matter. Think about it, most birthday parties are on the weekend when it is convient for most people to attend, which makes it days before or after the actual birthday. Having icecream and special meal on the actual day is plenty.

Have a great Holiday season.

That is really cool that they are twns but actually have different birth days. Now I'm curious how often this occurs with twins :-)

I can't believe you've managed to keep their birthdays separate for 7 years. I see nothing wrong with combining them. Do you think they would mind? If it means a lot to them then could you just do it for this one year not feeling well and all? Just explain it to them that way and if you have to pick a neutral day and celebrate both. Whatever makes it work for all of you!

Happy birthday to them!

I think you are way over-thinking this! I would do a birthday cake (or each one's favorite treat) on their actual birthdays and celebrate this weekend. You could also let each one pick a take-out dinner on "their night". Pizza tonight and Chinese tomorrow won't break the bank and it still makes it special!

First, how old are they? Do something with both of them at the same time.
You are over thinking this whole thing. I am sure they will be happy to be
doing something with you. Relax and just enjoy.

if they are old enough ask the youngest if she wants to celebrate on the same day as the other. or alternate the parties on one day one year and the next day the next year and back and forth. one has to wait and one gets an early one.
