Pick out grave plots and/or tombstones.  I enjoyed this activity thoroughly on my 81st!  Have a blast!

Get a mini keg, those are fun, or do a scrapbook of the birthday party, keep all the labels of the bottles. I say do a birthday keg instead of a birthday cake. Or you could try lining up bottles in the shape of the numbers or you could make a cake that looks like a bottle of alcohol, wine liquer, beer, whatever. \n p.s. anyone that doesnt drink would think that it is not so fun after a while. but if you drink then the more the better!

Ok, then let's change it a little bit. Do something entirely different with her. Do something that is not your normal mode. Treat her with a nice romantic dinner somewhere, it dosen't have to be expensive or elaborate, just a nice different place with good food maybe a nice glass of wine and a single rose would be nice too. Find a place that you could dance with her a couple of slow, romantic songs sure could not hurt a thing.  There is so very much that you can do and to go without spending a vast amount, parks, attractions, museums, gallaries, etc. I would be bored too if all we did was make supper, watch tv and sometimes go shopping, none of that is spontaneous nor romantic.

Give her a card Handmade with an invitiation to do what she wants to do, go to lunch, go to a spa, picnic lunch, a park.\nHave fun

The other ideas are good.\n\nBut here's another idea.  Since it's all in the same week, how about a weekend getaway to somewhere you haven't been before.  That would be some awesome time alone and away from friends and family.  Trust me, it worked well for me and my guy, and his birthday isn't anywhere close to any other holiday.  I still look back on that time with wonderful memories.  It was great.

Well I'm going to make this easy for you, I just had my 11 birthday to. So I had a sleep over and watched movies and etc. But you could go skating, go to a couple movies, go to some very fun place, or etc. For food you could make some and take it some where, buy it and take it, buy it at the place, or any other ways you can think of, or have everyone bring something. Buy some nice decorations, and some stuff like that. I hope this is helping. Buy or make her a nice cake, and some real good friends to come. I hope I have helped you.

How funny -- my husband has done all of the things you listed (the song is still top of the list).  \n\nHe gave me an awesome b-day present of a hot air balloon trip for my 30th b-day (don't know if I could stomach it now) and another great gift was a surprise gondola ride (wine and chocolate covered strawberries as we cruised Coronado bay as the sun set..)  Horsebackriding was also a fun gift -- the trick is that these were all surprises and the fun part was in guessing where we were headed and then the fun of getting there to see what we were in for!\n\nSo try a neat "experience" like these.  Another cool thing (but you have to really know your wife) is a big household project that you could care less about but you know your wife would love (a fancy new front door that you install -- or have a professional insall -- a cool new chandelier or modern light to replace the old one above the dining room table - just be sur eto get advice from her mom or friend on the taste / appearance of what you select).\n\nGood luck -- you sound like a great husband and I know that takes hard work and dedication  :)

If it were me, I would like to have something really special planned for me. I would not want to know anything about it. It would be a suprise, (not a suprise birthday party) but like going to a favorite resturant, then maybe to a local bar for a quick drink and then home. When we got home I would like you (her) to be in a sexy lingere, sexy panties and then let what ever happens from there happen.

Try the zoo.  I believe they still allow birthday parties there.

well, I dunno.... i wouldn't do the whole fancy dinner.... it's too typical... unless she's a typical person. Oh.! Oh! I have something if you are willing to take the time to do it... :-) well, you can tell her something has come up blah blah blah... you can't make it. and then get her friends together and plan a scavenger hunt and it'll take her to all the places you and her have had some great memories together and she'll get a new clue for each place she goes... and then on the last one you will be there! oh how cute... you should totally do it!
