Go to their website. They have a list of things you need to do. You need to fill out an application, make a video including everyone you plan on bringing with you, send in pictures of you and your help team, write a small paragragh about why you should be on the show, etc.

I think you should make it his best,unforgettable birth Day ever.  Its not about what you buy him, it is about make his only 30Th Bd one to never for get. my husband just turned 30 last year and I baked the cake myself and made him a romantic candle light dinner . i took him out to a club with male and female strippers. And the last thing was the sexiest Victoria Secret in HS favorite color. He said the next day that it was the best birthday of his life. Just make special using your own charisma and make sure he never for gets this day.

How about giving them the gift of YOU! You already have an attitude which will probably come through when you give them their gifts and wait for them to open them. Is dad a sports fan - or theater, opera, ballet, etc? How about GOOD tickets to a game (or other venue) -- and the chance for the two of you to go. Ask him to dinner before hand. Let him choose where - or ask his favorite dish and prepare it. LEARN about the sport, ballet, opera, or whatever before you go so you can talk intelligently about it. Dad will see you as an adult - one he raised right, and will probably not blow off your gift - because the gift is  you! \n\nThe same goes for your mom. Most moms would rather have their children WITH them than giving them something. Or try making something for her. I bet she  still has that little clay ashtray you made in kindergarten. Do you paint, write poetry, crochet, knit, etc.? Handmade means made with love. Does she garden. Give her a certificate promising to spend a whole day in the spring helping get her garden ready for the coming growing season. If you are together, she'll love it. Just be sure to honor the certificate - and when you're done, share a pizza and some talk.\n\nAnother thought I have: Was dad (and/or mom) raised during the Depression or was he poor as a child? These people often have difficulty accepting gifts they see as "not necessary" because they had to be such penny-pinchers when they were younger. It's not the gift, but the idea of spending what they see as an unnecessary amount on something not really needed.\n\nGive them the gift of you - and you can't go wrong! And you might even enjoy it!!!\n\nP.S. If they still seem to be unappreciative, accept that this is who they are - and love them anyway. After all, they are your parents. You wouldn't be here to complain if they hadn't given you life.

Just remember that this is your daughter's birthday. Make it about her and not your new house. Throw another party at some other time for that. Maybe not everyone is comfortable with small children. Will they feel obligated to bring a present if they come? Small children are hard enough to keep entertained. Do you really want to have to entertain the family on top of this?

Whenever I'm in that situation (for anyone, not just boyfriends) I make a list of everything he or she likes. Try to be as specific as possible. As you're making the list you might start to come up with some possible ideas. My boyfriend (who buys everything he wants and is consequently extremely difficult to shop for) just had a birthday and I did the same thing for him. The list was ridiculously long, but I ended up buying him season 1 of Stella, an incredibly stupid sitcom that lasted only 10 episodes. Anyway, he absolutely loved it. He said that it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone had ever bought him and that he wouldn't even have thought of buying himself that. So give it a try-- maybe you'll come up with the perfect gift! Good luck!

Well you didn't say that money was an issue and I don't know your age but alot of thought can go into this suggestion. My daughter did this years ago and her dad loved it.\n\nBuy some nice index cards and make 'coupons' for your dad to redeem when he wants to use the coupon. For example:\n\nThis coupon entitles you to 1 free car wash.\nThis coupon entitles you to a free lawn cut.\n\nThis is just examples so you have to think of what your dad would really like done around the house and make coupons for this. If he usually takes out the garbage or walks the dog, stuff like that he would love some help with. \n\nMake up the coupons and decorate them and put them in his fathers day card. I promise he will love it. He will know how much time you spent on the gift.\n\nHope this helps!!

My brother's birthday is day after christmas and every year he got short-changed. Aunties, etc. wold say "Oh, junior, we got you a bigger present because it is for both Christmas and your birthday". a kid doesn't think that's very cool. A kid - and an adult -doesn't care if you spent $5. or $25. so long as the gift is cool. Once we became adults I made a special point of always giving my brother a separate birthday gift - and NEVER used Christmas wrapping!! (like some people did). If you ditch Christmas, you are still short-changing her, dummy-cakes. You do the whole Christmas thing as usual but maybe you buy a very personal gift , set your alarm clock for 12:01 December 25th, wake her up with a kiss and a glass of champagne and say "Happy Birthday, darling, sweetie, lambie-pie,cuddles. This moment is just for you because I love you!" Trust me, all day Christmas she'll be bragging to all her friends and relatives about the most romantic, thoughtful guy in the world - YOU!\n**Just read your add-on, and i still urge you both not to "ditch" Christmas. Been there,done that - and for the same reasons you gave. It was a disaster. Two of us in Vegas, both missing the meaning and feelings of Christmas. Start your own new traditions - things you can later share with your children from the extended families because some years you will have the kids. Buy an artificial tree, one that is exquisite, one that you can now afford because you aren't feeding a horde of people for dinner. Plan future decorating and start with this year's purchase, in following years, include those kids. You need to show the children that Christmas is important and that you are celebrating so that they want to be with you on alternate years. Whether you are feeling like a "family" this year or not, you really ARE a family, just missing a few members on this one occasion. The earlier suggestion would still hold true, but then please have a wonderful Christmas as well! You can always have a birthday cake for dessert.

I wonder  why  i am answering  this.MY  daddy  died APRIL  6, 2006. But  i  would get  them  both a  gift  that  has  you  in  it.  example  a  mug  cup  with  your  pictute on  it.They  look  expensive  often  times  costing  under  10  bucks.MAybe  something  you  made  example:A  box  of his favorite  cookies  or  a  cake  he  likes.OR  have  some  one  make  him one.I  had  a personal picture  cake  made for  my  day for  about  6  bucks.He  loved  it. Or maybe a  picture  wallet   of  photos  of  you  from  a  baby  till  now  .  Or  one of  the whole  family  he  can  tuck a  way  at  work  and  pull  out  to  new  people.  My  dad  had  a  small  picture  album  at  his  desk  i made of  me+ mom  +  our  dog  and  granny  and   the whole family. i  was  a  way  when  daddy  died  but<  mom  says  he had  the  picture album  i  made  5 years  ago  in  his  hand when  he  took  his last  breath. THose  are  things  dads  love.  things  where  your  in  it.   Happy  fathers  day daddy love  star

if he cares about your future, i'm sure he's willing to push back the dinner reservations, or even move them to a different day. maybe the night before, or the day after. the restaurant, as well as the beach will always be there. i know it's his birthday, but he should be gracious about it. if he throws a hissy-fit about it, that tells you how much he cares about your future.

Don't understand your question . . . \n\nFrom what I could tell you are nothing but a booty call . . . and that is all you will be.  I know you want him to commit to a relationship . . . but he won't . . . because you don't mean much to him.\n\nPlus if you plan on giving him an ultimatum on your birthday . . . if he has balls . . . and I don't know for sure if he does . . . because he seeing you have he said it is over . . . the outcome will turn out ugly.\n\nThis song is old . . . but I believe that it will fit "It's my birthday, and I'll cry if I want to."

I think it's HER day and she's old enough to deal with her decision whether or not to invite him.  True, she may regret not inviting her dad - but that's for her to decide and then deal with.  She may NEVER regret it - and remember it as a special day she got to spend with YOU.  Respecting her wish will also prove to her that she is worthy of your trust and respect.  I do hope you have a "grown up" conversation with her about all of this - make her a part of the pros/cons discussion and final decision.\n\nGood Luck!

GO WITH HIM.... Tell the folks to get used to divided holidays and promise them Christmas,  mean it.  That's when you get your presents after all.  This is something every one comes up against as they couple up.  It's not easy but compromises have to be made.  \nAn additional consideration for the future is which holiday draws the most family together at which venue.  If you feel welcome, go.  It is awful short notice if you have promised your Mom to bring the pie.

OK to start out relationships shouldn't be transactional. On any holiday/birthday presents are not a requirement, and a demand of a present is in very bad taste no matter who is making the demand.\n\nYour situation is complicated by the fact that your mother helps you out a great deal but from your question you are helping her out too.\n\nThat said in a sense she is right about the meal because you both footed the bill, however that still doesn't give her the right to complain about no gift on the day.\n\nShe sounds like she is manipulating you.\n\nTo circumvent this situation, sit her down in as dispassionate a manner as you can manage explain that you resent being blackmailed. Then list the many way You help HER throughout the year. Then explain your finances and that a present (especially a large one) is going to be a real strain. Finally as a means of getting past this ask her if there is a particular thing that she really wants or needs so badly then offer to help her acquire it.\n\nBy the end she will most likely feel a fair amount of guilt, since she is so good at dishing it out she probably deserves it.\n\nHappy Mothers Day LOL

Happy Father's Day!  I like the idea of asking him.  Even though it is your day, ask him if he knows a good activity/place for celebrating Father's Day.  If he picks a place that is totally for him, ask him if that is something a father would enjoy.  Or, go to his place first, then tell him about yours.  Another option would be to pick somewhere that the two of you can be alone.  Enjoy the time you have together before he grows up.  (and he becomes too cool to hang out with his father or becomes too busy)  I like the kayak idea.

You should tell him you like him first, so you won't waste money on an unwanted gift. and if you give him something like to tickets to his favorite band concert, he won't turn you down because he wants to go, and it will lead you on.
