Absolutely! I usually cook enough for an army anyways.


I think I came up with a plan. My husband starts back at law school that same week after having a 2 year hiatus. I think I will make it a birthday party/back to school party for him. Its been battle for us to get him back so that'll be nice.

I think I'll make the invitations look like a front page of a newspaper and announce his going back and my birthday. I won't mention any of this to him.


Thanks for all the encouragement. I am going to throw a big bash now that I know it won't be frowned upon.

Sure, it's ok to throw your own party! I had my 30th at my fave neighborhood pub. The owner let me book all of the bands and we fliered downtown. I "guest listed" my invitees, they got V.I.P. treatment at the bar, d-drivers made sure everyone was safe and I had a blast!

I hear ya fabnsab, I am usually the party planner in my family too. It kills me because I always do all these cool things but rarely have it done for me. So it's like I live through the other's experience.

I always orchestrate family dinners, showers, surprise parties, birthdays etc......
For my 30th. my husband and bF threw me a semi surprise party. I knew about the gathering but did not know they were getting me a 30 piñata and all of the "over the hill" decorations. The best part is that I did not have to lift a finger.

GO FOR IT! Plan it and have a blast!

The best thing about throwing a party for yourself is; It's just the kind you want!!

Fab, I'm my family's social secretary, too. I am all for your throwing your own party. Great idea, and I like the idea of the front-page news announcing DH's going back to school and your birthday. You're very creative. You'll have a very fun party.

Party favors? Place markers at the table? You could use schoolbooks as a theme.

the problem with me dancing is that i have to have a couple of drinks to be brave enough to dance. and there is like a 'one-sip-fine-line' between dancing and getting sick while dancing on the bar (only i see three or four bars). the only dancing i can safely do is something like the chicken dance or the macarena, and even then, everyone falls down laughing because i am going the wrong way, or doing the wrong movement or tripping over my own feet :) i think it has something to do with being left-handed! most people think i am joking around, or mimicking lucille ball and ethel mertz, but i am trying my damndest LOL

Hmm, Tabby, we should start a thread about dancing disasters. Much like you I have to be toasted to even attempt to dance. I still get the giggles remembering the night a friend tried to teach me to cha cha. She had started out saying she could teach anyone and that it was an easy dance to learn. 1, 2, cha cha cha, 3, 4, cha cha cha....she eventually threw up her hands and conceded defeat and declared me hopeless. MOW and I can't dance together, put two non dancers together and well, theres a whole lot to laugh at. One time, at a bar, I hurt a friend dancing. I'm still not sure if it was when I fell and he caught me or when he was standing back laughing at me that he got hurt.

Fab, I'm glad you're gonna do your party! I hope its an absolute blast for you.

This thread makes me laugh (or giggle in my case) Go ahead and plan your own party Fab -there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't enjoy yourself by having your loved ones all together in celebration.

The reason I started giggling is because I recently had a birthday and figured since no one was going to throw me a party, I'd plan one for myself too. What was the big surprise was that my boyfriend has already planned a party for me and when I started planning my party my plans aligned with his perfectly and I was truly surprised. Who knows, maybe you'll be surprised as well. Enjoy yourself and Happy Birthday to you!!!

I agree! Go for it. There is nothing wrong with throwing yourself a birthday party. It's tacky to throw your own bridal/baby shower, but not a birthday party.

In France it's almost expected you'll take your friends out to dinner ....

In other words, its not weird!
