| There are 3 women celebrating their birthdays within a week of my shower, and I was thinking of having three little mini-cakes presented to them to wish them a happy birthday. It has been brought to my attention that one of our cousins is having a milestone birthday 3 weeks after the shower, and have been advised to include her as well. My fear is that I know for certain that the only birthdays that week are the three I mentioned, but I can't be so certain about the rest of the month, and I don't want to leave someone out. Should I scrap the whole birthday-greeting all together, reserve it just for the three celebrating that week, or take the chance of overlooking birthdays?

I wouldn't do the birthday thing, after all it is your shower. Maybe after it you could give them a card, and tell them happy birthday, that way they know that they are being acknowledged, without it taking away frm your day. But if you don't mind sharing your shower then I don't see why you shouldn't acknowledge birthdays. I think 3 weeks away is a little much though. Just my opinion.

Well, if you want to acknowledge birthdays without offending anyone by possibly forgetting someone, why not have only one bigger cake for everyone? At the same time, you could mention that you apologize for possibly overlooking any others!

| I agree with sophiebomb.. My wedding is the day after my brother's birthday... I know it's also the day of FI's cousin's husband and close to one of my aunt's. I think we'll just wish a general happy birthday to people and have the band play happy birthday!

It's a generous gesture but not necessary. I think the 3 week birthday is going a bit overboard....

Peach, what about sitting them at the same table as eachother and having a B-day cake as their centerpiece or something???? That way even if there are others that pop up, you have room for 4 more at the B-day table??? Ok, kinda cheesy I know, but it's all I could come up with!!! lol

I would leave the birthday thing out and I would keep the focus where it should be, which is on you. That way you do not insult anyone.
