Why don't you have a special Mommy's Day with her on her actual birthday. She's two, she understands babies in mommy's bellies, etc. Celebrate the day to the hilt with her. Playground, HER favorite foods all together, explain that you're celebrating because she came into the world for the whole world to enjoy, and YOU got to be a mommy on this very special day!! Start the morning with balloons at breakfast, balloons in the bathroom during her bath, just a complete day of celebration...and then have the party when EVERYONE can be there.... Happy 2nd Year of Mommy Hood. I can't believe MY baby (one of them) is turning 20 on Thursday!!!  OMG. Like snapping my fingers..and he is 20. (happily, the stretch marks have faded, but the student loans keep rolling in!!!) haha. \n(www.thedorkymom.com)

I'm the type of person that doesn't like to just give someone a simple old gift, I like to make it a little more exciting than that. Here is one idea. Hopefully you have some time before her birthday. This is what I would do if you have about a month or a little less time before her birthday. Each day, for 21 days, give her a small gift. This could be some makeup, a new purse, some cash, starbucks g/c, a day at the spa, cds, etc. Give her something for each day up until her birthday and then on her actual birthday give her something big, that she has wanted for a while, or something that she would like really like. You could give her a trip to Vegas or Atlantic City, or take her on a cruise, etc. This is where you would decide what to give her, what you think she would like the most.\n\nI think it would be especially neat if the little gifts added up to her final gift. You don't want it to be real obvious what it is going to be, but once she has everything you want her to be able to see the connection. Let's say you are going to give her a cruise. Okay, so you could give her some small (not travel size or it may be too obvious) lotions, shampoos, etc. you could buy her an MP3 player to listen to on the plane, some books, etc. Add things in that would be of interest to her, but also useful for her trip. You could even take her to the mall one day for a shopping trip and get her some pictures in one of those machines, then she could use the picture for her passport. Then on the day of her birthday you could take and wrap the cruise documents in a large box, like a sweeper box or something, then she will open it and it will just be the little envelope with the documents in it. You could also wrap her up a box and inside of it have a clue. You could create a map or use a real map that she has to use to find the next clue, give her hints where the clue is and then she has to hunt for it, it sounds  a little childish but because she will be going on a cruise I think it would still work. Plus, it will be a lot of fun for you and her.\n\nHope this helps!

WOW...sounds like your daughter and son-in-law are very selfish people. I would give them a dose of their own medicine. You don't have to take that kind of disrespect from ANYONE. I would send your G-daughter a nice birthday card and leave it at that. They will surely run to you when they need something, but don't give in. Let them FEEL how they have made you feel.

You can ask them, but you have no right to try to continue to persue if the other child says no. I suggest asking your daughter to ask for the pictures herself, then you guys can make copies and each have pictures for your respective albums, yadda yadda.

My mom's birthday is Dec. 24th. She DID NOT allow us to combine the two- birthday wrap, etc. I have three other relatives within a week of Christmas, including one on the Big Day itself. Fortunately, in my opinion, NONE of them allow the days to be 'blended'- although cake and ice cream for a Christmas meal dessert is a bit unusual!\n\nIt can be a pain, but it is only fair... UNLESS the 1 gift is REALLY nice AND it 'feels' fair to him and his siblings!\n\nOthers do indeed do 'fake' birthdays at other times in the year, but this is not an easy thing to explain to a young child.

You can't.  you can get something closer to her id.  like one digit different.

A nice thing would be to ask the advice of her parents. it shows respect and what the family values. Find out what they think is approprite. Ask them to keep it a secret but they will appreciate that you asked because the girl is young and under their care. Get a few ideas from them then pick one. If you want to give an additional gift or something of your own idea...ask them what they think. "Would you mind if i gave her a bracelet or stuffed animal etc"? then you are free to give but have checked in with them.

Well I'm going to make this easy for you, I just had my 11 birthday to. So I had a sleep over and watched movies and etc. But you could go skating, go to a couple movies, go to some very fun place, or etc. For food you could make some and take it some where, buy it and take it, buy it at the place, or any other ways you can think of, or have everyone bring something. Buy some nice decorations, and some stuff like that. I hope this is helping. Buy or make her a nice cake, and some real good friends to come. I hope I have helped you.

There are many ways to make the giving of a present more romantic, and this is limited only by your imagination.\nOne thing that you could do for example is to lock the present in a box.\nGive them the box before their birthday but not the key.\nThen give them a series of clues that help them to find the box.

Can you please check you haven't made a mistake somewhere? I have just calculated (with 99% certainty) that there are no solutions to those equations with those restrictions.\n\nEdit - OK, I assumed you made exactly one mistake. By removing each possible word and trying to solve it, I discovered that removing 'SIGH' was the only option that gave an answer.\nt 1\nh 8\na 3\nn 7\nk 6\ns 5\ng 9\ni 4\nv 2\nwhere SIGH = 26, not 25. Then THANKSGIVING = 65.\n\nThat was actually a cooler puzzle that the original, assuming you made one mistake :)

A picture board with photos of wonderful moments in her life would be great to commemorate her birthday.  You could also do a "here's your life" segment by having some of her closest family and friends participate by sharing their favorite moments with her.  \n\nThe photo album the previous poster mentioned would be a great memento for her to go along with the theme of the party.  \n\nI hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating!

You did impose upon the hostess.  The best thing to do would have been to go to collect your daughter and mention the situation and why she must leave early.  This would have given the hostess an opportunity to offer an invitation to your friends daughter without feeling it was foisted upon her.  If she did not offer then collect your daughter with the promise of specially recognizing the birthday girl at a later date.  Since this has already past I would take the advice of the other answer of sending a gracious thank you and invite the hostess to a dinner, or perhaps even a night free of children (babysit for her) since she had so many plus one!

Well, first wait until the day is over!  There's still a chance he or she will call!\n\nIf your child doesn't call, make arrangments to meet or speak at a neutral time and tell your kid that they really disappointed you.  You manage to remember their special days, and now that they are adults they should be able to remember days that are important to you.  If nothing else works, I'm sure that "forgetting" their birthday would make an impact!
