Due to the fact that I will probably not be able to get my income tax money until maybe February, I may not be able to have a Birthday Party for my fixing to be three year old, even if he turns three on Jan. 20,2007 until then. Any of you had to do that before?

Sure. I've had to do it more than once. We have six children so we have to work around other activities also. The good thing about him only being 3, is that he doesn't understand the concept of time or dates. If you wanted to, just wait until the day of his party, wake him up with a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY hug, and let him know that you're going to have the party on that day. He'll never know the difference!! Of course you should let him know a few days in advance of the party so he can anticipate the fun!! Good Luck!

At three, the kid doesn't even know when his birthday is... At that age, it's more for the adults, and I'm sure that your friends and family will understand.
As they get older though, they start to realize. Try to set money aside in a savings account on a monthly basis for the future.
Yes, I've had to do it before. And with three boys all born between feb 22 and march 18, I've discovered the beauty of having one party for all of them. Saves time and money, and they don't really care.... They just want the cake and the gifts...

You most certainly do not need a tax return to pay for a 3-year old's birthday party. For heaven's sake, have his party on his birthday. All you need is a cake and some candles and a cute card and a small present that he will enjoy. He's three!

Don't worry your son will never know the difference. We celebrated my son's birthday 3 weeks later so we could involve his grandparents. He loved it and it didn't matter to him when we had his party a party is party. I noticed at Christmas too, between all the different houses we go to to open presents it took 5 days of opening gifts he didn't even realize Christmas is only a day. He loved every bit and didnt' know the difference.

I never had that situation, but given the age of the child I don't think it'll be a problem. Time is a very flexible thing for kids that young. If he understands that his birthday is on that day don't lie to him, but if he asks about it or his party tell him you'll have it "soon". Even if you can give him an exact date it won't mean much to him.

I never had a full blown out b-day party for my son until this year.. He's turning 5 and we're doing a party for him.. He'll actually remember this b-day.. At 3 we just did a family party.. It wasn't expensive.. So what I would suggest to you is to keep it low key.. Don't wait to do his party until Feb.. What's the point then?? Good luck to you

He is just 3 years old,you don't have to go all out.I'm sure you can scrape up some money for a cake and then just think of some games as the day goes by

I've had to do it several times. My kids are fine and they were never emotionally traumatized.
