My fourth child just turned one on October 6. His birthday was on a Sunday, and we were too just too busy to stop and eat cake. So, we delayed the party for a week.
Our rationale was: He's one. He doesn't know what a birthday is and won't be offended if we celebrate it late.
So, the following Saturday, I bought a cake, packed up a few presents, threw the kids in the car, and headed to a popular destination for kids' parties. We did everything by the book. Ordered pizza, got lots of tokens, let the kids play arcade games, sang Happy Birthday and let the baby play with his cake.
The camera didn't work.
So we just staged it the following Saturday when we celebrated our third child's birthday.
As long as the photos aren't time-stamped and his siblings don't tell, he'll never know.
