What was memorable about your 50th birthday?

Question

I'm looking for ideas on what to do for a group of women turning 50 in the next 6 months. We have been best friends forever and none of us live remotely close anymore. If anyone here can suggest something, I would be grateful for your imput. We could travel somewhere to meet..., then what?

Answer 1

Well, the most fun I had on the 50th Birthday -- my special someone called me the night before (and yes, REMINDED me several times -- teasing that I have hit the BIG number ... (he is 5 years older than I am)), and talked and talked, made me laugh, enjoyed the conversation, the quick and witty remarks, and the 'entertaining' photos that were e-mailed ...

(and yes, you can morph the photos in several photo editing programs ... just use your creativity -- make clowns, make them have silly hats on their heads, add captions that capture their personality, etc)

Then the DAY that the person (me) turned 50 ... the special someone called once again ... and serenaded me with "Happy Birthday" ... more quick and witty remarks, lots of making me laugh, more teasing through e-mails, etc ...


For that day -- I went to get my photos done .. they were fun (I had makeup done, had my hair done, etc), shopped a bit too (and if they like something slightly sexy -- try a new fragrance or a gift certificate to some shop that they would enjoy) ...

Just have fun! You don't have to travel to see them on their 50th -- just have fun with E-Mails, phone Calls, Creativity through Photo Morphing, and (if it can be afforded) gift certificates for pampering). You know, a "Catch up and Have Fun" (girl fun!) time ... for sure!

There is nothing like getting some glam treatment, some new photos, some photo morphing (for the creative types), and some special times shared with laughs that make for a fantastic 50th Birthday!
