Things to Do at 50Th Birthday
Do not throw a party because you think you should. That’s the fastest way to a miserable Wednesday night. You want a wild Friday bash? Go for it.
You want to hide in a cabin with three friends and a case of wine? Also perfect. The only rule? It must feel like you.
Option A: The “Pure Nostalgia” Throwback
Remember being 16? The music, the hair, the clothes (ugh, the clothes). This is your chance to relive the best bits. Rent a karaoke machine from 1995.
Serve pizza rolls and Jell-O shots. Request that your friends dress like they did in high school. The photos will be horrifying and hilarious.
Honestly, watching your lawyer friend attempt a shuffle to “Ice Ice Baby” is worth the whole evening. Trust me on this.
Option B: The “I’m Too Old For This” Epic Trip
Fifty isn’t old. But you might feel too old for a hangover that lasts three days. So, take a trip instead. Not a boring trip. A bucket list trip.
Go somewhere you’ve always whispered about. Iceland to see the Northern Lights? A cooking class in Tuscany? Even a weekend in a fancy hotel where you don’t have to make the bed.
This isn’t just a birthday. It’s a declaration that you’re still curious. You’re still adventurous. You’re still willing to eat strange cheese in a foreign country.
