My mom is having a tough time trying to decide what to do for my dad's 60th birthday party. Either a stay at home dinner and have it catered and invite close family and friends, or go out to a very nice restaurant that he really likes with immediate family only, or even rent out a country club and have a buffet type dinner and maybe have a "roast" of my dad. What does everyone think? He is a real-estate lawyer who is very involved in church and Habitat for Humanity and is always willing to help out others (one of those rare lawyers who is willing to do free work if he thinks it is for a good cause). We are hoping to fly his mom down for the occasion from Missouri (his dad died a few years ago) and i'm hoping that we can also get some of his law school buddies to come down as well. Any ideas would be great...please keep this clean as my dad is a great guy. Thanks!

He has one of those personalities where he loves being around people and loves a good party, as long as it is with close friends and family, so that is why my mom is having a tough time trying to decide. =)

Depending on his personality, I would prefer a nice quiet dinner at a fine resturant that serves a great meal. I don't see any excitement in having a party at 60.
