As I approach my fortieth birthday, I find I’m paying an inordinate amount of attention to strange things…
- Why can’t I come up with anything really good for my “bucket list?” (I didn’t need such a list when I thought I was going to live forever).
- Why do I find “15 Recipes to Make Before You Die” such a boring list? (Bread, steak and chocolate pudding? Snore.)
- Hey, why shouldn’t I throw MYSELF a party?
Celebrating a milestone birthday like forty, fifty or ninety is tricky business. Some of us don’t want a birthday celebration that’s different than any other year. Others of us might be counting on a big surprise party or gift, in the form of a trip somewhere on that bucket list. The most courageous of us will throw ourselves a party.
If gathering with friends and family is really all you want, it makes all the sense in the world to take matters into your own hands. What better way to mark your entrance into a more sage age? Take full control and plan something exactly the way you want. You probably haven’t had so much input into your own party since your wedding, and you’ll probably have way more say then you did then. Just don’t tell your mom about it.
You choose your own stylish party invitations online; you select your “15 Dishes to Eat Before You Die” menu; hire that band you love so much, and definitely go with some other color theme besides black! Much will depend on what you can spend. If your partner feels the least bit slighted in being overlooked as a capable host, just explain that throwing a great party for yourself is actually on your bucket list!
