Does anyone have suggestions for how we can handle birthdays as a group so that...
- Everyone is recognized on their birthday
- No one is left out or feels like they are not a part of the group
- It is not a financial burden or obligation for people to recognize birthdays
- Whatever is done is fun and appreciated by the birthday person
What does everyone think? How can we do this together? Post your comments and let's figure out how to do this!!!

During the last spouse club, we were discussing continuing to get together after the new year for a girls night out. If we did get together, let's just say every 3rd Saturday of the month, maybe we could celebrate all of the birthdays for that month. Perhaps the whole group could pay for the birthday girl(s)' activity or dinner or whatever we decide to do. Of course, this is just a suggestion! I am up for anything.

What about maybe meeting and discussing our ideas for our January get together? We can all throw out our ideas on the blog and then get together and vote! I guess my thought for birthdays would be to somehow do the same thing for everybody. I will have to repost when I have a more concrete idea...but the wheels are turning!
well i love you girls so any reason to get together is great to me! i think birthdays should be noticed and if we get together every month and do something fun and celebrate everyones birthday that month. we dont have to put in much for a gift just enough to let them know they are thought about. lets just make sure we get together every month and at the activity we need to decide what were doing the next month. im good with anything though.
Oh...yea!!! I have an idea. Let's have an "Unbirthday" Party once or twice a year. Everyone brings a gift (something that they would like to receive that costs less than $20). We have cake, ice cream, spend time with each other, exchange our "Unbirthday" gifts, and celebrate everyone's "Un-special day." Everyone is recognized, and there isn't stress about buying a gift, forgetting a birthday, or feeling obligated to do something. In fact, I would love to host a party!! I have always wanted to have a Mad Hatter Tea Party. I have the teapots and a cake store to make odd-shaped cakes. I just need the excuse to do it.
I say we get together and discuss this......seriously any excuse to get out and hang out is GREAT in my book! But i think everyone should be recognized on their own special day! But lets make a date out of it!!
I agree with Morgan...maybe we can discuss this at our first G.N.O. planned by Angie? Everyone bring your ideas!!!
