Potential Problems with Birthday

Post Reply New Topic

My birthday is coming up next week. I would like to do something because for the past few years, I have just been alone with nothing to do. I have a friend who shares a birthday with me and I am considering asking him if he would like to do a joint celebration (I was thinking dinner at a restaruant, a maybe casino night, and maybe an after party). Here lies the problem, I don't want the event to be too small, but I don't want it to be too large either. If it is too small, I think that my guests will find it lame (plus that's not what I want). If it is too large, I think that I will feel uncomfortable at my own party, plus most of the attention (whether people realize that they are doing it or not) will be focused on the other person. I know that we can pack the place (we are both pretty well known on campus, though most of my friendships are distant have fun from 9-5 relationships). Also, the other person is in a fraternity so a lot of greeks will be there (I know most of the people in his frat house, but the problem is I find interaction with girls that I don't already know difficult, and sorority girls will be on hand). Any suggestions???

I have suggestions below but I need to ask, how many people are too many? You'll need to have an idea on the number you're comfy with (which may differ depending on the venue) to be able to discuss it with your friend, his medium size party could be a large party to you and vice versa.

Would talking to your friend help? Asking him what he thinks about it? and then telling him your suggestions and listening to his if he wants to do a joined birthday? If he says ok to a shared birthday then ask him for tips on chatting to girls you don't know.

REALLY. REALLY? One response?
