Also, what if you have no family? Who is going to throw you a birthday party? Does that mean that God not only punished you by taking away your family, but did a double whammy because now no more B-day parties for you?
It has little to do with family. I'd never throw a birthday party for myself, but my friends every year will ask me if I want to do something special or they'll just set up something somewhere that I like and take care of the FB invites and whatnot. It's nothing fancy or elaborate.
So, if I wanted to rent a hall, and hire a band and send invites out to all my friends to come help me celebrate my birthday, I would be weird or rude or something?
You said you would never do it - how come?
Why would it be any weirder than doing the same thing when you got married?
Can you imagine - you get married and wait for your friends to cater a reception for you? I bet many couples would never have a reception then, lol.
Oh yeah, one more thing, I'd definitely make it clear, no gifts! That's a different story.
Hmm, my next birthday...
It would be awesome to rent a big house on the beach and invite everyone and just cook and drink and party for a day or a weekend or whatever. Dream birthday. lol

See that's the thing. I never ask for gifts either. People ask me what I want all the time and bring stuff on their own.
Because I hate being the center of attention and would never plan an event just to celebrate myself? My birthday things usually end up being casual dinner and drinks in which the anniversary of my birth is just secondary to having a good tome with friends. No gifts, no big deal.

It's interesting.
See, there's another idea. Tell everyone to bring something fun that everyone could enjoy. The more goofy and silly, the better. Or maybe something just a little more extravagant than people are used to. I don't know. There could be tons of out-of-the-box ideas.
Man, I really think you're onto something here. I'm starting to get all creative about this. In my head, I'm starting to plan my next birthday (too far off). lol

Fair enough.
