C's birthday is April 3rd. DH was supposed to be deployed like 2 weeks after her birthday and then we were going to fly home. My mom and I were planning to throw her a family 1st birthday in May, so that our families and friends back home could celebrate with us.

DH and C and I are all all leaving in July now, instead (thanks USAF!). Would it be weird to throw her a small birthday party at the beginning of August? I just really wanted to be able to celebrate with our families back home.

I was thinking something small. Rent a park pavilion, BBQ, cake, etc. I'm definitely not expecting anyone to bring a gift. Is it too long after her birthday to have a small party/get-together? If you were a close friend or family member (who knew the situation. We're overseas, plans changed, etc), would you think it was weird?
