50th Birthday Party...?
Hey everyone. My Mother is having her 50th birthday coming up.
And she wants to do something different than the average party.
She wanted to have some spiritual gathering of her close women friends, but her children (me (16) and my sister (23)) think that is a little too deep and not really the spirit of turning 50 years old.
Does anyone have any ideas of what she could do, instead of just a normal gathering of our friends and family party.
Please help!
Thanks

Moms put in alot of hard work every minute of their lives. If she is asking for something specific, it is because it is what she TRULY wants. Until you have lived 50 years and or been a mother, you won't understand why she wants this. Suffice it to say, that NOT giving a woman what she wants (within reason) just frustrates us incredibly and while we appreciate everything our friends and family do, it's hard to understand why you won't RESPECT our wishes.
Ask yourself these questions... is the party to make Mom feel good? or to make yourself feel good?
When my dad had his 50th birthday party, we threw him a party at a very elegant hall, started off with speeches from his close family, then we started dancing, drinking, and having fun, which i would assume is the norm for birthdays.
I think the point of the 50th birthday party is to make her feel a bit younger, i would say don't do that whole spiritual gathering of close friends b/c that's just going to make her feel old, or atleast that's what i would feel.
So do whatever you'd think would make her feel young again, i say do the whole giant party at a hall, and invite all her family and close friends.
