For my husbands surprise 40th birthday party, I copied an 8 1/2 X 11 picture about fifty times (a picture that was complimentary of him), set out crayons at various places and invited his friends and family to "draw him young again", and then we papered the wall with silly pictures of my husband.

He is a great guy and doesn't mind a joke.  I offered a gift to the three that my husband liked the best.  After the party we had time to look at the art work together and had a great laugh together.  He said it was the best birthday he's had.  So here's to another year full of laughing together.
