[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd send the person who is closest to the birthday celebrant.

But really - you do need to start adjusting your social lives. [b] A 40th birthday is not really something to prioritize in terms of time and money.  Is everyone in your group going to now expect to have destination 40th birthdays everyone attends??[/b]

It might be different if the party was for a single friend who had showed up for all the showers and weddings.  Then I think I would make the effort.  [/quote]

I posted earlier that I wouldn't go, but it really comes down to this.  That's way too high maintenance a friend for me.  We have close friends in various circles, and at some point, we've matured out of these kinds of things.  [/quote]

How sad for you and your friends.  We definitely still celebrate birthdays, especially milestone ones.  It's a great excuse to get friends together at a beach house, which sounds like tons of fun to me![/quote]

Why?  We still get together often and have a great time doing it, birthdays, etc.  The dads all have a two yearly guys weekends, the moms have more regular nights out, etc.  We just pay attention to the basics of timing and our other life commitments.  It's possible to enjoy life and celebrate milestones in a manner that also lets you be there for major milestones for your kid (and starting K absolutely is one).[/quote]

You realize you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth, yes?  You said you've "matured out of these things" and then you said you still get together...  So which is it?[/quote]
