The main point of a party is so the honoree has a blast! Make sure you include stuff she would like and whats to do. It doesn't mean you have to stay at home either. You could take her fav place that she doesn't get to go to often, or take her out for something she has wanted to do for a long time, or is passionate about.
pretend to have a birthday party and just celebrate.
In all honesty, I'd say throw her a normal party! I'm sure she doesn't like dwelling on her condition and is just glad that her friends are real and haven't abandoned her. Do whatever you normally would do, snacks, dinner, go out to a restaurant, drink, dance, whatever she knew as normal before this happened. Better yet, call it a celebration of life if you have to. (Don't we all have a reason to celebrate life?)
But nothing like first anniversary or one year stuff in public that people can see. They might ask what it's for and your friend will be caught between a rock and a hard place. Just call it a friend's night out!
Best wishes.
Throw the dear girl a fondue party. You can get a fondue pot inexpensively in thrift stores. I got a cool dual chamber one for two sauces at a time. A group of 6 is perfect for this type of thing, and its great fun to dunk interesting things into the pot and talk while they cook. Google fondue for tips and methods. We do a simple spagetti or alfredo one, using jarred sauce, with dunkers of steamed new potato, shrimp, veggies, mozzerella cheese bites, garlic bread, etc. Good luck and have fun! Great that you are supporting your friend. I can hear the thought process of some of the people now, thinking its not a good idea to have a communal pot with a person with aids. There would be no risk, she knows what she needs to do, and it would show amazing support to her. I am quite sure she would remove the cooked item to a plate, and eat it with a seperate fork than the one she cooks with. I wouldnt hesitate. If fact it is the very thing to do to show support
celebrate as you like and enjoy what you have
