Hypothetical - Would you be hurt?
Would you be hurt if YH didn't throw you a surprise party for your 30th?
I was planning on having one for MH at a bar & grill near our house this summer...but now that I am really feeling uncertain about my job, I am not sure it's a great idea to book it and go through with it. It would cost a minimum of $1,500 for the party. We have it in savings...but if I lost my job I would obviously feel guilty about spending it on a party for one night.
Thoughts?
ETA : If I don't have the party for him I will still try and make it special. Also, I am not willing to have the party at our house to cut the cost down...just too many people and I don't want to have to host it at our house.
Re: Hypothetical - Would you be hurt?
I didn't do very much when MH turned 30 because it was shortly after our wedding so we had just spent tons of money.
I think it depends on how your husband is about his birthdays, Mine could care less but if you think he would be upset if he didnt I would try to find a way to do it for less.
Has he SAID he wants a party or is he the kind of guy who'd not enjoy his bday if he didn't have one with all his friends?
We didn't do a party for MH's 30th. He a) didn't want one and STATED IT numerous times, b) got irritated when his mom would joke about it because he thought she might throw one and he really didn't want one, and c) would freak about the money I'd spent. He was happiest having a much quieter deal, I think we did dinner out.
I've never done anything really big for his b-day. He isn't against a party, at least that I know of. I just thought it would be the year that I would do something very special for him and get all of his friends and family together just for him...I may just do it anyways. You can't always plan for the future and it's only a $100 deposit so if I do lose my job by then, I can always just cancel and I'll only be out $100....hmmm
I think I am going to. Deep down I think I know that he would really appreciate and love a surprise party. Me on the other hand will make it completely clear that I dont want one when I turn 30 and would rather him surprise me with a trip somewhere.
That's a good idea. I'm sure he'd appreciate the heads up on knowing what you want and dont want.
I would just do it. At least put the deposit down. I think you'll regret it if you don't, especially if you DON'T lose your job.
Personally I want a big party for my 30th (Mike couldn't care less) but I think we're trying to make different plans for that year now.
