Fun Ways to Celebrate a Half Birthday

Half Birthdays for me, are even more fun to celebrate than regular birthdays because most people don’t even know it’s their half birthday, and it always makes them feel so special. I don’t celebrate them every year for that exact reason–my husband never knows when I am going to randomly decide to celebrate his half birthday one year. TIP: I actually planned on celebrating his half birthday last year, but the day passed and I didn’t remember, so this year I put the date in my phone with an alert a couple days ahead of time. I highly recommend this if you think you might want to do something special for someone’s half birthday. If it’s closer to your husband’s birthday than his half birthday, you will find TONS of creative ideas here: Husband Birthday Ideas

Half Birthday Ideas

The fun thing about half birthdays is there is no expectation on how they are celebrated either–even a card and some cookies is considered overly thoughtful!

Half Birthday Ideas

This year, my husband was gone for most of the day, so I started out the day by leaving a half birthday breakfast for him in the fridge. It consisted of a halved muffin, one of those yogurts that are split in two, and half a bottle of orange juice (I happily drank the other half) 🙂

I also wrapped various gifts for him to open every hour, on the half hour.

I love celebrating my husband's half birthday every few years. He NEVER expects it and feels so pampered!

Dinner wasn’t quite as creative, we had a 5 1/2 lb pot roast, with halved baby potatoes and onions and carrots, and I actually can’t remember what we had with it (it was a couple of months ago), but we ended the night with half of a cheesecake…..(and maybe also getting half-dressed) 🙂

I'm six-foot tall mother of three and I'm enjoying the view! I'm currently fighting a battle with Lyme disease and am determined to come out victorious. I enjoy warm summer rain, peanut butter everything, having dance parties with my husband and kids, natural remedies and healthy living. Most days I'm just looking for another excuse to avoid the piles of laundry.

    Would someone please explain what is a half-birthday? I’ve not heard of this til I stumbled onto this blog.
    Does it mean you have 2 birthdays a year, one exactly 1/2 way through? So since I’m 53 I would have had 106 parties, right?
    Is this an American thing?

      Hi Gazz. It’s not necessarily a “thing,” just a fun way to throw in an extra celebration and surprise someone that is not expecting it. We don’t celebrate half birthdays every year, just randomly when we feel like it 🙂

    I love your ideas! Super cute. I have started this tradition with my sons. When my son turned 6 months, we threw a little family party with half a cake. When he turned 18 months he got sprinkled pancakes cut in half and we did fun things for him through out the day even transforming his room with streamers, banners, and 18 balloons. My second son will be 6 months in a few days, might do some of your cute and creative ideas and try to throw my husbands half birthday one year!

    I had a half birthday party for my husband, knowing that I might have HALF a chance of surprising him! It worked. I cut paper plates in half and served half a pizza. I served devilled eggs (1/2 an egg), and half a cake. Of course, a card from his better half. It was a long time ago; Pinterest makes it much easier now adays.

    What are some of the ideas you did for the present on the half hour? I am planning to do this for a 12 year old girl and I’m not sure what to include in these cute gifts.
