So in June it will be my 20+20 birthday don't go out a lot to socialise because of commitment and was looking forward to planning something for my special day. Had an invite today for the surprise 30th party of another family member to be thrown on my birthday. Would you be annoyed or not?

I now feel obliged to go to this party rather than make my own plans to celebrate my own special day

How close is this family member.

If it was my 40th I would tend to be selfish and do my own thing.

A 30th isn't a big deal.

She's quite close but she has got a lot of things planned to celebrate her special day spreading over a few days in June.

No it definitely is for her. She loves the limelight which is great but just think it's a bit insensitive to be thrown on my birthday. Wouldn't care if it was any other birthday

Without knowing the dynamics within your family I wouldn't like to say but as said above could it be a surprise party for you?

Sounds like she craves attention. If there's a few events she won't miss you at one of them.

Too many of the "other side" of their family have been given invitations. I'm not so bothered about it being thrown on my birthday but that I now feel obliged to go to the party when I would have liked to have done my own thing

Say something, ask if they forgot it was your 40th. You might understand the reasoning behind this party then and feel better

I don't want to upset anyone though as that would make me look selfish and I'm really not.

Some people do like to over celebrate their birthdays.

You should do what you want to do.

You aren't obliged though, all you need do is say "I won't be able to come as its my 40th"

Hmmm. Celebrating your birthday on the actual day isn't selfish. If you spend your life doing things so that you don't look selfish you're going to enter your forties feeling unhappy.

My advice would be speak up or go to the party with good grace.

Try your Mother remarrying on your birthday because she wanted it to be a "Special Day"

But to be honest, did they know it was your birthday, and have you celebrated them in the past?

Wow that's a bit of a bugger too!! Yes they knew it was my birthday as it's quite close family. I don't celebrate as big as her but we are two different personalities.

Just say 'I'm sorry but its actually my (special age) birthday that day, and I have made plans'. Even if you haven't yet.

^^ This. 40 30. Way more important to celebrate a 40th.

Just a twist. Are you not being as precious as her?

I'd be bloody precious when it comes to my birthday. How hard is it for people to make an effort? Its only one day a year!

Speak to the people involved. It's the only way you will understand what's going on, reading all the different inferences being made here won't help because none of us can possibly know their motives. do you really want to stew about it without letting them know you have a problem and spend your birthday feeling bad?

No I don't want to feel bad at all. I'm grateful for everyone's input as I thought I was a little selfish to be annoyed at what has been arranged. I'm sure it wasn't done with any malice as the person who organised it doesnt have a nasty bone in their body

Have you told her you were planning your birthday event on that day? Dunno how close you are but i would have mentioned that first, and if she couldn't change the day then ask about making it a double celebration, party for both of you.
