craftgrrl(I am happy to have married into such a kooky family...)
My husband's uncle is turning 60, swears he doesn't want a party, and is going to be on a month-long trip during his birthday. So his family decided to throw him a non-party. What is a non-party you ask?
They are going to sneak into his house and make it look like they had a party there... party hats, streamers, cake crumbs, confetti... Then, they are going to leave photos "from the party" laying around the house.
They made a life-size cardboard cut-out of him (which they played limbo with), as well as some masks, and took posed party pictures with him. They also sent some high-resolution pictures to the non-local family and friends so they could print or photoshop the pictures and show up at the party themselves!
I thought this was such a funny idea, and would be great for anyone out of town on their birthday. I was also impressed how it lets family and friends from all over participate in a way we would not normally be able to.
