I had a small surprise party for my husband when he turned 50. I used the back room of one of our favorite eating places that had buffet and I picked up the tab at the end of it. Less than $100 and no mess to clean up, no food to cook and etc was well worth it. Had everyone bring 50 type gag gift and my grown son took movies we all ate talked opened gifts and etc. Sorry to say my husband with dead with cancer, we did not know about, two years later, so glad I had party for him to celebrate.
