My guess is by not having him blow out a candle. Are we this dim?

But you’d all be sharing the cake and someone is serving it- isn’t that a Covid risk?

It’s not food borne moron

Is there seriously an issue with me cutting a cake with a knife and serving it to our friends?

If you’re asking, and insist on having a shared dessert, they should be individual cupcakes.
Covid does not care if you’re afraid or not. But it doesn’t mind spreading among small family/friend gatherings either. Be smart, not coy. We all want to get to the other side of this pandemic.

For my husband's 60th birthday in June, we did cupcakes arranged on a cake plate. We served it outside to a total of 8 people.

Up to $300 is fine, preferably $200ish. I’m getting him a kayak for Christmas which is $$$$ so trying to keep his bday gift on the lower end.

lol ok? Again, it’s 6 of our close friends (3 couples) and it’s going to just be a small thing in our backyard. I asked all 3 couples about it and they were all down. We don’t live in DC and none of our friends are scared to leave their house or socialize.

I agree. I think he needs to be let in on this and decide if he wants that. I would not.

I would think the OP knows her spouse well enough to know if he'd be okay with something like this.

This.

Well then she should know her husband well enough to select a gift for him without input from DCUM.

You post you get what you get with responses, take the advice you want instead of trying to insist all responses be to your liking.


My advice

1. Ax throwing, OP's husband seems like the type to enjoy this.

2. Indivdual cupcakes on individual plates.

Seriously, yes. Have cupcakes if you must.

Op if you only wanted advice of presents why did you post about the surprise party? We are allowed to respond to entirety of the post.

Oh give it a break. She clearly asked for advice on a gift and didnt ask if it was ok to have six friends over. Why is this so difficult to understand?

OP here; HAHAHA 6 friends is a covid party? Are you stupid? Also, as I posted before, we aren’t in DC and in our state we are allowed to have groups of 50 people for outside events. I’m having SIX friends over. Explain to me the problem? Are you hiding out in your basement until this is over? Sounds like it and that’s sad. But you keep doing that and I’ll enjoy some good friends, food and a fire at my “covid party”.
