30th Birthday Party for Husband post cancer treatment
hello everyone!
my husband is turning 30 in April and we’ve had a heck of a year with his PMBCL stage II cancer diagnosis in June. he finished chemo in december and is in remission! we wanted to wait to celebrate his remission until his birthday with friends so that his immune system will have rebounded some and so that he’ll be feeling a little bit more like himself. i had already wanted to do a big birthday celebration for him before his diagnosis. now I want to do as much as I can to make this birthday party a bash with friends and family to celebrate life and leaving his 20s behind us!
needing ideas to celebrate his birthday. we have a large indoor space that we are available to rent for the day for free. he loves basketball, coffee, dentistry, and most of all getting to spend time with friends! he was born in the 90s and enjoys some video games. I’m trying to make it a really fun celebration of life but don’t know what kind of a theme to go with. we are thinking of getting Mexican food catered from a local authentic place he loves. there’s also a coffee shop next door to the space we are having the party. i just really want to make it special and would love any ideas for how to do that! what have others done for your birthdays or celebrating a big achievement/milestone?
im also hoping to do a fun game where people submit photos of their teeth and my husband will guess which smile belongs to who. would a themed trivia game about him also be a fun way to engage everyone? the theme is eat, drink, and be thirty! we are having tacos and beer from a local brewery. he loves chocolate chip cookies and home made poptarts so we are doing that as his dessert for the party. I’ve asked people to submit photos for a running slideshow of him through the years. I’ve also asked people to prepare a little something to say about Thomas if they feel so inclined. what else would be fun and intentional?
