Dear Queenie,
I am the one in my family who always organizes parties for birthdays and anniversaries and other special occasions. Now my 50th birthday is coming up and I would like to be the guest at my party, not the hostess.
Queenie, should I just go ahead and plan my own party?—Party-planner
Dear Party-planner,
Pass the word to your family that you will not be organising your own 50th birthday party but look forward to celebrating the occasion. Then wait and see.
If someone else throws a party for you, enjoy! If no one does, plan your own party, or treat yourself to dinner at a fancy restaurant or a day at a spa or whatever other special treat you would enjoy.
