40 - went out to dinner with friends
50 - no idea - but nothing special

40th had a big party (husband planned)

50th coming up- we are going to Paris and Florence for 10 days meeting our best friends for the Florence leg and doing things I have always wanted to do- attending a 2 day cooking school that I have always wanted to go to, and going on a truffle tour. Parties kind of lost their meaning to me in my 40's

60th who knows, my sister just celebrated hers with a family trip to Hawaii. Sounds good to me.

50 - Friends called my husband to organize and throw me a surprise. He told me himself that he told them we were planning a trip and put an end to it. We are staying together just for our kid.

Similar to me. Actively shut down friends' attempts to throw me a party. But gladly had one of his own.

Have only done 40th so far-my husband planned a surprise party for me at our place. Nothing fancy, just friends coming over for cake a drinks.

I will hopefully be attending my daughter’s college graduation for my 50th. Cross your fingers for me, y’all

Just like every other birthday. Never thought to do anything different for birthdays ending with zero. Maybe if I reach 100, though!

Lol, no. The best-beauty-finds-of-2003 thread was full of nothing but posts about what to use on a crepey neck.

You know DCUM was started in 2001/2 right? We’re still here!

40th: went out for dinner, drinks and dancing with girlfriends and crashed at a hotel while DH stayed home with the kids. He and I went to the Caribbean alone a couple of weeks later.

50th: lGot Covid but went to a Winery with one set of friends and a Drag Show with another set when I recovered. DH wanted to throw a party but I wasn’t into it.

60th: Who knows? Still have a while to go

40th - DH planned an surprise birthday vacation to Desire Riviera Maya, spent the entire week being pampered, partook in a most pleasurable couples massage, enjoyed a boudoir photo session with many great photos.

50th - DH has something up his sleeve, he claims it will be most pleasurable and a bit kinky. We shall see....

40th - dinner with family and another fancy dinner out with DH. My kids were little.
50th - hoping for something good like a great weekend trip centered around my interests.
60th - hoping for a fun trip, hopefully with my grown kids, to somewhere new.

40 - island trip with the girls
