We did this for my grandmas 80th and it was loads of fun.

Play Who Wants to Be A Millionare with your husband or family themed questions. Your husband can be the contestant. Pre-record the sound effects from the gameshow and when he wins (of course you don't let him get any questions wrong) he "wins" his birthday gifts. Now I am thinking though, it doesn't really involve the other guests but its really fun to watch especially if the questions are funny.

Thanks for the ideas so far. I really need something everyone can get into.If I do the game re whats older, how long can that last? Do you just ahve people scream out the answers? Any Rosh Hahsnaha themed games ot there? I know thats a really weird idea but...how about the game where poeple draw pictures and everyone has to guess what they drew and what theyre acting out? Cannot think of the name....

This is lots of fun:
everyone gets 4 small pieces of papers.
You ask everyone to write a name on one paper, any name. you collect them in a bag labled as name
Then on another paper they need to write another name and add it to the names bag.
Then you ask them to write on the 3rd paper a place. collect in seperate bag labled place
and on 4th paper they write a comment begining wit "and said"

what you do is you mix each bag seperatly, you then pick one name and read aloud then second name then pick from place bag a paper and read aloud then from 4th paper...

basically each sentence should be something like this mr__________ met mr____________ at the _____________ and said ___________________________

this can come out really funny sometimes and is loads of fun!

if this is not clearly written lemme know I will try to clarify it.

I have done murder mystery parties. They are great & you can modify to your crowd. If you get the book "Westing House" (I'm not sure who the author is) you can pattern it after this or you can buy complete kits online.

line up drinks and whenever 2 or more people say the same word - bottoms up ... Drunken Smile

not sure how that will work with coffee but you can get kahluah or godiva liqueurs ...

and don't forget the cheesecake Cheese

So, last night I tossed and turned for a few reasons.One being I havent narrowed down my game idea yet.
I thought that since everyone who's coming knows my husband I would make many envelopes of 5-10 misc. small objects and each group will have to come up with something to say about him based on these objects
ex-rubberband
_ is so flexible...
