NGPMR: husband's 30th birthday

DH turns 30 the first week of November and I'm struggling what to do for his birthday. I want it to be special for him since it is his last birthday since LO comes.

He loves college football, the mets, history, movies, beer, music and just overall hanging out with friends.

Any thoughts? I'm at a loss since I will be the only sober one of the group. Lol

Re: NGPMR: husband's 30th birthday

  • For my DH's 30h, I just asked him what he wanted to do and we did that. :-) In fact, I think he did most/all of the planning. 

    We met with friends/family at a restaurant and then went to see a band he liked that was playing that night.

  • i turned 30 before baby was born (2 days after my a/s actually). DH surprised me with a weekend away at a somewhat local resort and spa and splurged $500 on a mommy to be spa package (so amazing). it doubled as a babymoon for us as well. is there a weekend trip that you two could take that would kind of do the same thing? a couples massage, something special for him (my DH went golfing and had a golf lesson while i was at the spa, but it was also june)?

  • We're going to dinner (after our first birthing class) and later in the week he's going to see one of his favorite hardcore bands play with the boys.

    Nothing exciting, but he's going to really lay off going to see bands once the baby comes so he's getting in as many shows as possible.

  • Thanks for the responses, girls.

    I have asked him on numerous occasions what he wants to do and the answer keeps changing. We've gone from doing something small at the house to a Penn State game to a Flyers game in a luxury box ($3600... Not including food. Not happening) to going drinking in Philly. Not sure what the real answer is.

    I'm leaning towards a big dinner with friends and going to a Flyers game (non-luxury box).

  • I think hockey is a great idea, just not the Flyers! :D

  • Me too. Here's hoping they are still selling bulk tickets.

  • I live near the Pens AHL team and they sell them all season, as long as you have 10+ guests, maybe they do the same for NHL?

  • I organized a surprise outing to a baseball game. DH knew he and I were going but I bought tickets for a bunch of his friends, too. It was low key (he said he didn't want anything), and easy to organize. I got a deal on the tickets and it cost me around $300.

  • My MIL called me yesterday and I told her my idea. Her response was that she had a "better idea" and that she "wanted to make sure it was special." As if I had complete disregard to making my DH happy for his birthday.

    It may be the hormones. But I am PISSED. I really want to plan this for DH and I feel like once again she's trying to pull the rug from under me.

    She doesn't want to do anything sports-related (which is what he wants). She wants to take the party bus to bars locally in our town. Most of the bars in our town (minus the casino) are dives.

    ETA: the luxury box is astronomically expensive and doesn't include food/booze. If it did, I probably would look at it a little more closely.

    Thanks sweetie. :) I'm going to talk to him about it tonight and see what he wants to do. I just want him to be happy.
