Birthday Ideas *big - 30* Need Help!!! Posted: 07-13-07 09:15am
Sooo.... In a few weeks, like 3, it will
be my dreaded birthday...No more twenties
for me, I will be hitting the big 30.
Instead of being excited for my birthday,
I am somewhat depressed about the whole
situation. I hate getting older
But...I want to have a really fun
birthday. I have a couple friends /
co-workers that had big 30 parties and
went on trips and such. I just don't know
what to do.
I told my husband that I wanted him to
plan something big for my birthday, but
his planning skills are not really that
great. I thought he was going to get a
bunch of my friends to come down for my
birthday, but after seeing them this past
weekend, they don't have any plans on
coming down.
Soooo.....What I want to know is...what
did you do for your 30th or what do you
think would be a good plan to do that I
could hint to him about.
Something that doesn't cost that much
money as we are kinda broke right now.

Maybe your husband is planning a surprise
for you???
I threw a surprise party for husband's
30th birthday last year. I invited a
bunch of the guys he works with and some
of our friends and our families. He was
quite surprised and ended up having a
pretty good day. He took 30 pretty
hard......

I don't know. I love to make a big deal
out of birthdays. I think birthdays are
great. I threw Jesse a suprise party last
year. This year we're going eat, watch a
movie, and going out if we can get a
babysitter.
What do you like to do for fun?

well since your husbands planning skills
are not very good just tell him what you
want with details. If not you might not
get what you want for your b-day

I hope that he is planning something big,
but I am not getting my hopes up because I
can almost say with 100% accuracy, he
isn't planning ANYTHING! He has been a
big but lately, so I don't think he is
planning anything sweet. I hope I'm
wrong, but I don't think I am.
We live at the beach, and we love to go
out on our boat. It would be cool to go
out on one of those casino boats or a
sunset cruise or something. those things
seem so touristy and being that it is
August, I'm sure there will be tons of
them here, which drives me bonkers.
Um...We could drive somewhere, but we just
got back from where we moved from last
weekend and we are going back there the
weekend after my b-day. Gas is so freakin
expensive, it's hard to justify that much
travel. We are also going to Maine for a
week in August, so I will have lots of
traveling to do this summer.
I just can't think of anything really fun
and exciting. I'm stumped!

I haven't hit 30 yet, but you could ask
for a bit of feel-good pampering maybe?
Like, I don't know, ask him to treat you
to your favorite meal, maybe a bit of
sensual massage, a fun night of
baby-making... or maybe ask him to take
you to the movies? You could make it a
special date night, maybe... where he can
pretend to pick you up with flowers, take
you out for dinner and a movie and maybe a
walk in the moonlight. You know, make you
feel like you're being courted all over
again?

I'd love to... I can't wait to go. We
went last year for 4 days and it wasn't
enough...we are going for a week this
year.
DH's family used to go to Peak's Island
every summer for a month or so. I love it
up there. I love to walk on the beach and
find sea glass. I swear I came back with
like 2 pounds of it last year.
Oh and I love having to take the ferry
over there. That's so cool!!!

That actually sounds like a really good
idea. No need to go anywhere really
extravagant. Walking on the beach in the
moonlight sounds so nice. I'm sure I will
get in some babymaking time, but to no
avail as I will have ovulated the week
before.

I was going to suggest a party at a
restaurant - it can actually be cheaper
than a party at your house because your
friends pay for themselves and chip in for
your dinner. But since your friends
probably aren't coming down, that isn't
such a good idea.

So it is getting down to the wire now, and
I am really not dealing well with my
upcoming birthday.
It is this Friday and I just have a
horrible feeling that it is going to be
very uneventful.
My best friend is coming down this weekend
on Friday and will be here for the weekend
with her two kids, so going out to the bar
is out of the question. My mom was going
to have a BBQ at her house and we could
swim, go to the beach, go out on the boat,
etc... but she is in the hospital and I
don't know if she will be able to get out
in time or if she will feel up to having a
party for me (this was going to be
Saturday).
So I just don't think that there will be
anything fantastic done for my b-day. I
thought there would be, and Im not trying
to sound like a baby, but it is my 30th
birthday. That's a pretty big one I
think. I probably won't even get a cake
because I don't think dh can think of that
on his own.
My only salvation if my actual birthday is
a flop will be that we are going back home
the following weekend for a concert with
all of our friends. So I can just say
that the following weekend will be my
birthday celebration.
Boo hoo...
Sorry for being such a party pooper

I gave up hope long ago for my dh ever
planning me a surprise bash. So, I do the
planning myself. This year for my b-day i
threw myself a skating party. 20 of my
closest friends and i went rollerskating
at the skating rink, and we all wore 80's
clothes. We all kept requesting 80's
music all night long. Then we went to the
gay bar and danced it up. After that we
went to a strip bar and I got a big old
lap dance. it was a blast. I was hurting
by the time I woke up in the morning,
though! LOL. My advice is, just say "hey
let's do such and such for my
birthday...unless you have already made
plans? Hint hint" Then he can be off the
hook, or if he has planned something he
can let you know. Good luck! I hate that
feeling you get when they overlook the
bday!
