Just because the two of you are growing older doesn't mean you can't celebrate your birthdays together and have fun! Celebrating life events like a birthday can be either a private experience or the celebration can include a larger gathering of friends and family.

TIPS:

  1. Do not plan anything that you know will embarrass your spouse.

  2. Remember you are never too old to have some fun!
  3. When making your plans for the birthday party, ask yourself what your spouse enjoys to do.
  4. Wake your spouse with a "Happy Birthday", and continue to make the whole day special with surprise notes, little gifts throughout the day, and ending with a romantic date for the two of you or with a birthday party with invited guests.
  5. Take lots of pictures. Consider having disposable cameras available if you are having a large party.

  6. Ask guests to share words of appreciation and well-wishes with toasts to the birthday person.
