I'm going to have it on the sunday right before her birthday, which is Mother's day. How can I easily let her know that the day is more about her than me? I would've it on saturday but family and friends are super busy that day. Also is it lame to celebrate two special days at once? She's going to be 3 but already knows what birthdays are.

If she's only 3 I doubt she'll notice it's mothers day so the problem is solved.
My family has lots of birthdays from April through August, so we do multiple celebrations all the time because it has to be on the weekends...Often we end up with a party that is a birthday for me and for my mom and mothers day all at the same time. This is no bid deal for us, but our familty gatherings tend to be big free-for-alls with tons of excellent food and everyone is really generous and we just plain have a great time and don't spend time worrying about the reason for the big happy gathering.

You can have the birthday celebration with the family on Mother's Day, and on the day of her birth, have a small super special dinner and dessert in her honor. As long as she knows that you love her and care about her, celebrating multiple occasions on the same day can be a lot of fun.

You can give her a little b-day celebration on her actual b-day with just her and you and daddy. It will mean so much to her to have her own special day. You can give her a special gift on this day and then when mothers day comes, you can go and do a mommy and daughter day for a couple of hours and then have a little mommy time and finally a celebration for her and family/friends. I know it sounds like a lot of hoop jumping, but it's a suggestion...lol.

Don't try to celebrate your daughter's birthday on Mother's Day because this wouldn't be fair to either of you. Your little one needs her own special day where pictures can be taken and other friends can have fun with her. Choose a different day - when your daughter can be the only star that's shining.

Celebrate it twice. Have her big birthday party on that Sun, but then on her actual day, have a mini party. Get her a little cake some ice cream and just tell her that her actual birthday is that day and you wanted to celebrate it, but since more people could come on Sun that's why you had her big party on Sun instead of her actual day.

Our son was born on our anniversary so I know what youre going thru. However, I would not appreciate being invited to a party on mothers day, as I would want to do something with my own family. Your friends and family might not feel the same, but just giving you my honest opinion.

I would definatly make the day about her, you will have a million mothers days but she will only have one 3rd birthday. I wouldn't even tell her it is mothers day.

when you have that problem that day it is all about her if someones says happy mother's day to you then great but as for that day birthday comes first don't mention it to her that it is mother's day she is to young to really understand 2 celerbrations in the same day.

Why not wait until the weekend AFTER? Then it won't be Mother's Day, and everyone will be more receptive to attending the party!
