IDEA FOR MY WIFE'S 40TH BIRTHDAY
« on: March 01, 2023, 01:42:32 PM »
Hi guys...

I am turning to the DDF for a good idea for my wife's 40th birthday. I ideally, it can be with just my own kids and her.
Seems like a friend party can also be done either separately or together. NJ based, so really NJ/NY/or maybe PA for the right idea.

Would love some thoughts, ideas, suggestions.
Also some "you better Do" and some "you better NOT do" suggestions.

Thank you all for any input.

you can do a clip put together of 40 people that know her wishing her happy b day .
The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude(:

1) Dinner at a high end restaurant.
2) Some type of trip.

Try calling Shomrei Hachomos. They always have great ideas involving 40. :)

Create a real life scavenger hunt where the whole family planned a day for her with her favorite spots but she has to figure out where to go based on clues you make with your kids for her to solve. End off with a gourmet homemade dinner prepared by you and the kids back at home. Maybe make a spa one of the stops and you can prepare dinner and the home while she's there.

Definitely not my style to cook.... But honestly, it's a good idea if I knew how to.

That's just a small part of the day. You can go to dinner or order in too...

Or you can do a cooking game depending on size of your group.
Basically a few sets of identical ingredients and whoever makes the best dish wins.
(maybe 2 teams - wife and some kids and husband and rest of kids (if some are adept enough at cooking to help you out) or if with extended family/friends a bunch of teams).

Maldives or Bora Bora ;D
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I think the best would be a DDF scavenger hunt.

Try to get lowest bid on:

-Delta Companion Cert
-Clear/Global Entry Signup
-Subsidized Hyatt stay
-Hyatt Upgrade Cert

-Fly to South Florida:
-Look for best food/activity ideas
