Do you ever stop celebrating birthdays with a party?

I think people only really get one day to be theirs and theirs alone. Even when I did not have friends and family to help me celebrate I always did something special for myself on my birthday. I almost always take the day off from work and go out to lunch, to a movie, get a massage, or whatever else sounds fun at the time. We need to celebrate life every chance we get, no matter what age we are.

I don't know what is usually wrong with me,am fun of forgeting my birthday.I usually remember maybe somedays after, which is very bad.But yet i have been celebrating it at 5 years interval.

Birthday's are very important to my family. It gives us another excuse to go out to eat. I'm in charge of getting the birthday cards and making sure that everyone signs them. My SIL finds out when that person would like to eat and we split the bill. Afterwards, we usually have cake and ice cream at my brothers house. I live 2 hours away and if I am unable to get down there, I still get a birthday card for them. I love shopping for cards. This year I wasn't able to get down there for my fathers birthday, so I sent a card along with a framed picture of my 1 year old holding a sign that said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA". He called me and told me he was crying like a baby after seeing that picture.

Usually my friends and I will go out to dinner or for drinks for someone's birthday,but it's usually not something that would be considereed a party. Though we sometimes have parties for someone's 40th, 50th, etc. birthdays.

Our family does a thing roughly twice a year where they celebrate all the birthdays within however many months it's been. Sometimes as a kid, I got an individual party too, but sometimes I didn't. I thought a party was fun, but I don't mind not having a little gathering every year. We do try to do presents every year though, maybe a cake too.

Our family is the same way, we always have to celebrate birthdays somehow. My grandma is almost 90, and we still take her out to eat every year and get some cake and ice cream and usually a gift or two. I think there's always something fun about celebrating birthdays, even after so many years! :)

I stopped having birthday parties after I graduated high school. I have not had a birthday party since then and do other things on my birthday. My parents still do nice things or give me nice things for my bday and sometimes I travel with my parents around my birthday. I stopped paying too much attention to my birthday after turning 21.

As a child i had a birthday party every year, i loved them. Even as an adult, i have a party every time i have a 5 or a 0 at the end of my age blessed be

well for me my mom still has a home cooked dinner for me with cake and ice cream to follow and a few gifts. My mom herself is usually in florida every year for her birthday because they have a winter home down there, so we send flowers to her every year. My dad we usually have a little cook out for because his birthday is in May and so are alot of other family members so we just have a big birthday bash for all of them. I still buy my grandmother a birthday present too.

i always celebrate birthdays with something special like preparing delicious foods if we only eat at home with th whole family members or if we call for party at the restaurant or beach. blowing party is not always every year but birthday celebration is always we have though we sometimes share with immediate family only if the schedule is so hectic for the many.

My husband and I don't celebrate our birthday's any longer but we do for our son, CJ...He'll be 9 on May, 19th. Half the time we forget each other's special days; even our anniversary. I have to admit that I forgot our anniversary this year whereas he's the one that usually forgets. It used to bother me but no longer. Getting too old I guess. Laughing out loud.

DH and I stopped doing "parties" with the entire family around age 30 or so. We do go out to dinner or something with our kids, but that's about it. SS15 and SD12 still have parties for the family, but since they're getting too old for toys, we'll probably start switching to just letting them have some friends over or something. They still get cards from grandparents & stuff, but there's no reason to get all the aunts and uncles over anymore... Day is definately acknowledged though.

I like to celebrate birthdays with at least a dinner and a cake. In fact, on Monday, March 26, is my daughter's birthday and we are celebrating with a dinner and cake. On my birthday, on January the 10th, We celebrated my birthday with a lunch and a cake.

We always have some kind of party or celebration for all members of the family when it's their birthday no matter how old they are! Sometimes we will go out for a group meal, sometimes we will have a family get-together at one of the family's homes, with maybe a meal, drinks & cake. We always do something to celebrate, even if not on the exact day of the birthday. I guess it's just a good excuse to have fun!

I know I would really feel diappointement if my birthday was not celebrated. It would not have to be with family but definitely with my friends and so far I have not been disappointed. As my birthday is just 4 weeks away I hope this will not be first year it is not celebrated.
