My sister and I were born just one year and 10 days apart, which means we shared a lot of birthday parties growing up! Rather than having back-to-back events, we would work with my parents to choose a combined theme and a date in the middle of our days to invite our friends to. I do recall one year where we had separate Barbie cakes, but for the most part, even the food was a shared experience.
