Joint birthday ideas for large family.

Between November 25 and September 26 DHs family will have 2x 40th, 2x50th, 2x 18th
and one 75th.

Any suggestions of things to do to celebrate? The family is made up of grandparents (72&75), four adult children and their spouses, five secondary/uni age kids, two primary age and two toddlers. They don’t want a big, one off party but do want to celebrate everyone.

Pre-Covid they did a holiday to Spain most years, but it’s too pricy now the family is larger and many need it to be in school holidays. They’ve also done a holiday park in Devon for a weekend or week, but that’s less popular as the weather is often bad!

Any ideas? 19 people all together.

We had this a few years ago, with 18th, 21st, 50th and 70ths all one summer, the parents/grandparents booked a large Villa in Portugal for 2 weeks over May half term, cheaper and bit cooler than summer hols. Everyone paid for their own flights/car hire and apart from one big meal out, food costs were split between families.

Thanks both, I think we’re leaning towards a big house somewhere. Just feels hard choosing when/where as whatever is chosen won’t be ideal for someone.
