Adults to Older Folks - the Birthday party Heartland...
Adult
Birthday Party Idea: 20 - 100+ years old
This is were you
will spend most of your birthday planning and adult birthday party energy.
Let's look at a life cycle and probe a bit to see what
having a birthday every year for your adult life might look like.
A family of four (Mum, Dad and 2 kids) with two
grandparents in one decade will have as a minimum 60 birthdays. Take into
account friends, co-workers, uncles and aunts and you can see that the figure
would jump.
Are you going to have 10 adult birthday ideas in that decade or the
same idea rolled out ten times?
Nothing says "I can't be bothered" or "I didn't have time" like CGC.
What's CGC? It's a cop out. It's how 90% of
lame birthdays are celebrated.
Drumroll please. CGC is Card-Gift-Cake.
Huh?
Yep! It's the default adult birthday idea.
I can hear the protests. Aren't you being harsh
Neal?
I don't think so.
Our focus is about finding a way for you to celebrate each year -- significantly
-- given what's going on and how everyone is traveling in
their own life cycle.
I was shocked when driving back from Sydney (1.5hrs) in a
car of new colleagues when as part of the sharing I mentioned my ritual of a
hand made themed cake for my wife on her birthday. One man piped up: "I couldn't
do that. "Cause then I'd have to do it every birthday"
I was floored.
That's the point mate!
Every year I do this. I now do it for my daughter and it
has become a part of our family's glue. The buzz around "what is Dad doing
THIS TIME?" is amazing.
You are a long time an adult. Make the time
memeorable.

CONSIDERATIONS
- Age sensitivity - you might not appreciate all there is
to this age/person. Grand Dad may not enjoy a PC Idol party.
- Respect their wishes - no fuss
means, no fuss.
- Choice- maximize this. You
could do something different for every birthday. Put a list together
and bring it out once a year. It will create a few laughs.
- Health - Surprise!! Be
aware of the impact on a fragile disposition.
- Cost sharing - bring it up
early and make it crystal clear. Always get it upfront. You don't want
a money squabble to spoil things.
- Negotiation as option: forego a party for
a special trip / item etc
- Gift selection - Use a
registry or one of the many Gift Sites online.
- Research your Adult - as their
tastes develop so to do your options.
- A word on Family attending..... think
about it first. How extended is the family? How well do people get on?

Only when people search for this stuff it seems.
It's a simple way to distinguish between what
party ideas people are looking for.

As the site develops and more and more ideas
come on board you will see these links deliver more than the general

built in a day -- but I hear some of them partied like there was no tomorrow.!!

adult birthday party idea file.

KID or a GRUMPY OLD ...dude then you need to approach it differently.
