What did you guys do for long distance birthdays. I feel kinda bad because I went down to Jamaica in May for birthday and my fiance gave me a surprise birthday party. I mean the whole shabang! Two cakes....lots people....lots of food. Now I am here and I feel bad that I can't go all out for him. Any Ideas?

I wouldn't feel too badly about it. It's really not in your control and I'm sure your fiance understands that you would do the same for him if you were able to spend the birthday together.

You can make it up to him when you are finally together for good!!!

I go to this bakery place online where they deliver in Colombia. I pick out a cake with a nice note on it, send him a gift with a nice card, and then I call him to wish him a happy birthday. That's pretty much all you can do by being so far away.

Good idea - online shopping.
My sister sent me flowers for my birthday - once to Bolivia, and then years later to Brazil.

Yup..
you can always send somethins special..

First I wouldn't feel bad if you can't make it up to him. You could threw him an awsome birthday next year in the USA.
I would just send a card and say we will sell you a belated birthday party within the first month he is in the states or you could write out a love check I owe you a romatinc dinner and movie. They sell love checks on line and then you could put this in the card.

Second if you want to do something in Jamaica for him I would see does he have a trusty friend or family member? I could always trust Dwains cousin once I sent money western Union to his cousin and he bought buckets of KFC and a Fruit Cake. I mailed his cousin the card (global priority) and he got it that day of the card saying enjoy your birthday I couldn't make it but the food, cake, vodka, pepsi, and guniess are me. Have a wonderful night with your friends playing dominos and video games. My husband really enjoyed this one year and he took pics and emailed them to me.


All the best with your decision !!

One Luv,
Jax

Thanks that sounds good. He does have family members that i could trust. I might have to give them a call later on or something like that. Thanks again

No problem

Men are so simple and easy going though, I don't think they make a big deal about what gifts we give them (unlike us). I'm pretty sure that as long as he knows you remembered and are thinking of him, he'll appreciate it.

true, we're not very picky. pizza, beer, lapdance. or try this
sign your name and show him you signed it

Thanks everyone!

My husband's birthday is this Sunday and he's in Lima so I sent him a "care package" with things I know he'll really like. It's simple, but personal.

He gets his real presents when he comes home
