If your children have birthdays close together or by coincidence share the same birth date (though different years), it often makes sense to throw one party. But how do you recognize each child while celebrating at the same time? We have a few ideas to create a special day for both.
- Choose a color scheme using each child’s favorite hues that will work well together – like aqua and orange, blue and green, yellow and purple, etc.
- Allow each child to invite the same number of friends.
- Have each child wear their own birthday tee emblazoned with their age and name or choose a big brother t shirt or big sister tshirt with the coordinating little sibling personalized onesies or tees. (Shown: Colorful Number and Bulldozer 1st birthday shirts; Stitched Style Big Sister Tshirt and Little Brother shirt; Modern Fun Big Brother T shirt and Little Sister shirt)
- Cupcakes are easy to decorate in various themes at the same time, but separate cakes in coordinating themes is also a great idea to allow each child to feel special. (Cupcake image The Shopping Mama; cake table image Cake Central)
- Signs for each child also make great photo opps, like this one from Hostess with the Mostess.
