I forgot !!!!!!!!!!!????

[Chris'slady]

In all the mix up of planning our wedding for August which is right around the corner, I have been so into that I honestly go in wedding mode right when I get off work although I'm on the message board ( hehe:) :D ), all day.

But tomorow is my FH Birthday. I feel horrible, I forgot that it was his birthday until yesterday we were at a baseball game and he was like I cant believe how fast this year has gone. It is already my birthday. :eek: I was like Honey I know you will have a good birthday. ( in aww i was like i should of stuck my foot in my mouth and said I know it has gone by fast, but i was like ohhh crap say something.) But anyways last year I threw this huge suprise birthday party for him he loved it, and i loved to see him so happy. He knows their is not going to be a party just because of all the craziness, oh and i forgot. Of course i did'nt tell him that. I would love to throw him a huge party but it is a little late for that.

So my question is I dont know what to do for his birthday,

Iam taking him to his favorite restaurant but i want to do more for him so i need ideas....... PLEASE HELP.......

[IrisHope]

I would go to dinner and buy him a nice gift. I don't think you should throw him a huge party every year.

[oceaneast]

It might be nice to write him a long letter telling him how much the last year meant to you and how hopeful you are that the upcoming year will be just as meaningful.

[camberne]

You threw him a big party last year. I think that's great. With the wedding coming up, I don't think he'd really expect much for his birthday. You know him well... just get him something small that you know he'd enjoy and have a nice evening together. Every year doesn't have to be "the best birthday ever".

Thanks guys... I feel alot better. I went on my lunch to get a few things i got him a card and im gonna write a sweet message in there. which i know will mean more to him then anything, and got him this sport thing he wanted and a few shirt and ties. were going to :) dinner and a movie.

Shame on you for forgetting! Hehehehehe! With all the craziness of the wedding planning, you really ought to be exempt of remembering ANY birthday, much less that of your FH. :)

If you want to make it more memorable, you could always cook him a nice dinner and serve it by candlelight. If he's into it, how about a nice massage? A good movie? There are lots that you can do "last minute" that won't take a lot of planning or $$.

[Chris'slady]

I was thinking about cooking but i dont know if i can suprise him, coming home seeing candles, would be sweet because we have had no time together we our both going crazy. I would love to stay in and watch a movie i might do that too but her needed some more shirts ohhhhhh :eek: . so now its 50/50 movie or dinner or me cooking and movie.
me give him a message i need one..... :rolleyes: he deserves to be putting up with me.

Thanks guys keep uhm coming.....

Shit happens; people indeed forget when a birthday is, through no fault of their own.

we got married just five days before my wedding (and we on the honeymoon during it). Everyone but two of my friends even forgot it was my b'day (including family - his and mine!) As for us, we just did a fancy dinner on that night and that was it. When wedding stuff happens, it happens. I'm sure he was (I think it now passed) understanding of it all.

DH birthday--5/4
Wedding--5/21/05
My bday--5/25

As you can imagine, both of our birthdays got thrown out the window this year. I think I got DH a gift card to a sports store or something like that and he was fine. I didn't even get anything for my bday (we did go to a fancy dinner that night on the HM.)

I think there should be a moratorium on all other celebrations while a wedding is being planned. I think your FH will understand.

i'm such the guy in the relationship. he knows all the dates for everything - first date, first kiss, anniversary, birthday. i am the opposite. i sometimes forget the date of his bday, and i don't have a good excuse like you. i got caught red handed when i was filling out my paperwork for my passport and i entered the wrong date of his birth. he was disappointed i didn't know his birth date after 3 years of being together. though, i am prepared for his bday bc i at least know it is in late sept so i get something in early sept and just sneak a peak at his driver's license so i don't forget the exact date.

Don't feel bad. I forgot my own wedding anniversary this year. I would have been up a creek if I hadn't received a card from my mom two days before.

[lawyergirl25]

I got married the day after my birthday and I certainly didn't expect anybody to do anything for me at all - just a "happy birthday" and a kiss from DH and my parents would have been fine. I'm sure he's cool with not having a birthday party.

He doesn't know you forgot, does he? ;)

we got married just five days before my wedding (and we on the honeymoon during it).

Not THAT is pretty darn impressive!! :D

[pride&prejudice]

Don't worry too much. What your doing sounds fine.

I got married 3 days before my birthday and the first day of our honeymoon was my birthday. It kind of got overlooked, and I got a card from my uncle and wishes from my parents, and hubby got me some stuff from B&BW and my first "Wife" card. :D :o But other than that, with the craziness of everything, no one really did anything. Eventaully there was a "group" birthday dinner about a month later.

It really didn't phase me though. Birthdays happen every year, I was only getting married once. :D

Not THAT is pretty darn impressive!! :D

We can obviously see that Katy has other things on her mind right now :D
