Is the 35Th Birthday a Big Birthday??

I do not see it as being a big one. But on the other hand if you want to have him a party and you know he would like it go ahead. Have fun and celebrate.

Speaking as a cancer survivor (so far...), EVERY birthday is a big birthday! I will never fail to celebrate anyone's birthday, ever again. Life is uncertain -- always live, love, and celebrate often and with gusto!

Hi S.,

I think 10, 16, 18, 21, 30, 40, 50, 65, 75 are the biggies, but you can do other 'milestones' too!

Having said that, I am the type that searches for things that I can celebrate. I wouldn't say have a surprise party and invite his cross-country friends from kindergarten or anything, but I made a bigger deal out of my BF's 35th differently than I treated his 34th or than I will treat his 36th. We went to a super-nice dinner (not where we would usually go) and I got him a pretty expensive bottle of whiskey that had been aged "35 years". whereas for the year before we just did dinner.

I know nothing of 35 being special. I'm 53 and would like to switch the numbers tho ;)

No-I wouldn't say it is that big at all.

I wouldn't call it a big birthday, but you could still make a big deal of it if you're looking for something nice to do for your husband. It would probably catch him off guard. Just don't over-do it, because then you'll have to best yourself for his 40th! If you're just trying to be certain you're not overlooking a major milestone, you're not!

I don't see it as a biggie but if it is big to you that is all that matters. GO ahead and plan a party (IF HE LIKES THAT).

I just turned 49 on the 17th and cried all day. I would have killed someone if they had some celebration for me. I am thankful I am in good health and look 35 but I hate birthdays. Hubby gave me a car for 45 to cheer me up. Lord only knows what will happen next year....... HA

DO what is right for you.

I kind of do, but I think it's completely a personal thing. If you do, great. If not, no one will think you're weird. :)

I'm not big into birthdays, but I would say 35 in not a "big" birthday. However, if you or hubby think it's big and you enjoy celebrating birthdays than go all out. It's a personal choice.

I celebrated my husband's 31st in a big way...just because. He had a rough year, I think he's amazing, and just wanted to do something special. If it's big to you, do something! Doesn't matter what the number is. Sometimes it's just fun to surprise them when not expected.
