Starting off in late August and running through early December, everyone in my family has their birthday (my parents, sibling, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents) -- except LO! It's really fun, we usually do stuff together, like a giant cookout or this year, a big group of us are going to a football game.
Are birthdays close in your family? Do you celebrate together?

Not sure about the dates of extended family, my mom's family lives on the west coast while we are here in Ohio and my dad's family lives all over the country so we never saw them around birthdays. However in my close family, we are spread out with everyone in a different month: February, March, April, May, June, November, and December. My parents and sister live in the same area as DH and me so we always have dinner with them for everyone's birthdays but nothing big.

Ummm, apparently March is a big "get it on" month for my family. In the month of December we have 5 birthday's just in my immediate family! Mine and my LO's are in December 
And that's not counting 2 cousins and my Aunt in the middle of all of it too.

My sister and I are the same day (8 years apart) same with my step dad and his sister, but beyond that everything else is in May within a one week stretch, July over two weeks, and one week through October. It's insane how much is in those short stretches of those 3 months!

Ours are pretty much ALL clustered in June and August. I find it kind of hectic - and expensive!!! DH, my mom, and his siblings are the only ones NOT in this cluster....so including all parents, grandparents, my siblings/spouses , and nieces/nephews, it's 12+ birthdays in 2 months. We've always lived far away so don't celebrate together, but maybe now that we are moving closer we will do some joint celebrations.
DD#1 and I always celebrate together because we share a birthday.

From September through Feb we have a birthday (sometimes 2) every month but Dec but thats Christmas. Then we have a few month lull until May where we have birthdays again through July (multiple including the kids) and August is our anniversary so yes we have tons of gift giving through the year.

It's between april and august for us. Plus there's mother's day and father's day during that period also. It can be quite stressful sometimes.

My birthday, DH's and LO's bday all fall within a 2 week period. It is crazy the last 2 weeks of August! I am hoping our eventual LO #2 doesn't have an August birthday and I hope he or she doesn't feel left out.

My siblings and I were all born in the same month. Everyone else's is scattered.

I have a huge close extended family, so yeah, we pretty much have 5/6 birthdays a month every month.
But our little immediate family of three are within a month.

We have a huge clump of birthdays in May- usually do two separate celebrations; one the for the beginning of the month birthdays, then one around Memorial day for the rest.

We've got a huge cluster in October, but other than that it's pretty spread out.

Actually we are going to have kind of a perfect split. My birthday is early June, my son is early September, my husband is late February and our new baby will be mid to late March. The winter birthdays will be on the close side but still far enough away and long enough after the holidays that we will have time to save and plan properly.

I guess kind of. Both of my LOs were each born within a week of a cousin. They only have 3 cousins so it is a little unusual. If you include DH's family and mine, we have groups of 3 or 4 birthdays in a month's span and then months with no birthdays at all.
