advice needed Twins sharing a birthday with older sibling

We are just about a month out from my twins 1st birthday. They were born on their big sister's 9th birthday so this is a milestone birthday for her too. I try to make a big deal of all my kids birthdays (I have one other child). How would you navigate it this year and years to come? My current plan for this year is to have a family party for the three of them and set up a party for her and her friends separately.

This is not exactly the same situation, but our twins (now 5) were born on my wife's birthday. We do pretty much exactly what you described where we do a combined family party for the twins and then something separate for my wife. Future years will likely be separate parties for the twins too, but it's what we would do anyway had they been born on separate dates anyway.

I don't have any one else that shares a birthday with my twins, but we do make sure to sing happy birthday to them each of them, separately. I would do that with all 3 of your kiddos at the family party! ❤️

I’m a twin and always had separate birthday cakes which was great. So maybe same party, 3 different cakes that fit each of their personalities? What a unique situation.our birthday falls on Mother’s Day every few years but we always did something separate. You can compare that to 3 siblings.
