I need some ideas, and some context.... |
Trip.
Take a fabulous trip. |
Party that I helped plan. Low key, family and friends. Spouse put together one of those video montages to music - made me cry |
DW did nothing for mine and actually forgot it was my birthday until I brought it up halfway through the day. She said turning 50 isn't a big deal like turning 40.

We went on a road trip for mine last year. My spouse wanted to go see Sutton Foster live for theirs, so that's what we did. She put on a terrific show! |
Lots of people don't feel any need to treat milestone birthdays any different. Lots of people. If you are married to someone who views it as important --- ask them. Imo, these things are weird litmus tests for the relationship. Either you or they care. So be direct and talk together. |
Week in Paris. |
Nothing! I hate that bastard. |
Luxury trip with an epic BDSM session right in the middle of it. |
Ask him what he wants. I was planning a surprise trip abroad but thought better if it and asked if he would enjoy it. Glad I did. He wanted something low key and local. He enjoyed all of it. |
Skiing in Europe at Val d'Isere for a week followed by 5 days in Venice. |
Hired a high class and high end lady of the evening and told him to have fun. She didn’t care that I watched… |
We did a backyard BBQ with friends. |
No kids? This would be my dream 50th, but alas. |
I’m single, but my sister secretly organized a beach house in the Hamptons and invited my closest friends from each phase of my life. Elementary, high school, college, adulting, parenting plus my sisters. 12 of us total and the first time some had ever met. Went to an amazing restaurant and lounged about drinking wine and eating cheese the rest of the time. |
