Is it tacky to celebrate in advance?

I don't think there is anything wrong with celebrating close to the actual day. Like a PP said having a party on a weekend for a birthday during the week etc. But I think it is sort of weird to celebrate birthdays that are way out like the OP plans to do. Might as well get a Christmas tree, easter basket, haloween costume and some fireworks and get all the celebration done at one time.
Ultimately it really doesn't matter, if you are comfortable with "Christmas in July" go for it. Same with the bdays.

Personally, I think it's OK to celebrate the birthday that is so close to your trip. Howevert I really think it's sending the wrong message to the other 2, that they are in some way entitled to a cake too, simply because they were also born? Makes no sense to me. (?)

I agree completely!

I don't know...I am a bit torn. I think it is okay to celebrate when the trip is close to the actual day, but you are talking about 2 and 3 months from birthdays and the trip. Won't you be celebrating your other son's birthdays at home? Why do they need another celebration almost 3 months later? It seems a bit much. Instead of celebrating thier birthday, why don't you let them just pick where they want to eat on a certain day? Or maybe they get to choose the first ride of the day? You can make your kids feel special without celebrating a day that really isn't thier birthday.

I also voted no. do what you feel comfortable for your family.
Our trip in March is a birthday present to for my sons. One's birthday is the end of jan and is the end of feb. They both picked out a day and chose what we were going to do and where to eat (where I plan on ordering them a birthday cake), this is their present from me.
On their official birthdays we are just having dinner with extended family.
