need some creative ideas for wife's 40th bday event
the end of MArch, my wife turns the big 40. I've never done anything special for her bdays, party wise and I'd like to throw her a surprise party. It would have to be a late afternoon, kid friendly gathering. Less than 40 people. I'd like it to be something differnet, even a little strange if possible. Cost is a factor and I'm not sure what my budget is. I'd like to have cake and maybe some apps, etc.
My wife loves sushi
Loves country western music
Loves BBQ
but not limited to teh above....
Any ideas on some creative locations? I'd be looking to have it somewhere between Providence RI and Boston, MA

A little further south, but I bet she would love a Clambake at yawgoo bakes.
[edit] just re-read and march is probably too early for a clambake.

Do a search on the web for theme parties. I just went to a "cruise ship" party this past weekend and it was really cool and family friendly. The people decorated the house to resemble a cruise ship and emailed "boarding passes" as invitations for people to bring for boarding. They served food from different islands that we "visited" during the night. They also set up a fake casino in the basement and had activities for the kids. There was a karaoke machine in the ships "lounge" and the owner of the house made announcements about what was being served, etc... throughout the night. People dressed in cruise wear, too which made it seem like we were really inside a cruise ship. It looked like a lot of work, but it was much cooler than I expected. I'm sure there are other ideas like that that could be done for pretty short money and a little work on your part.

you didnt say
what your budget was....
but...
i'd look around for a place to rent where everyone
could do some line dancing.... country style
easy to learn too...
so you buy her some new cowgirl boots
and hire a DJ
instead of gifts have everyone
bring a dish and chip in for the hall rental
if everyone has a blast
so will your wife
have a birthday party/ hootenanny man  |

You need to contact Clammer about this. He had some great ideas at Christmas for my wife. And she is still smiling.
