Great Birthday Party Ideas for 50th and 60th Birthdays

July 28, 2011 – The 50th and 60th birthdays are definite milestones in one’s life. They should be celebrated with some kind of party. Maybe that is a surprise party, or maybe not, since some people hate surprise parties. Whichever you decide, planning the party can be stressful, especially in the beginning stages. By picking a theme to your party, the planning will go much easier and people will have lots of fun.

There are lots of favors and decorations available for simple themes such as beach party, winder wonderland, or BBQ. For a little more creative theme, base the party around the birthday girl or boy’s favorite movie. If you can’t find perfectly themed decorations, look for ones in the colors of the movie. Then, get a copy of the movie poster and have people sign it with well wishes at the party. Some movies even have life size silhouettes of the movie poster available. You can find a Gone With The Wind stand up with Rhett and Scarlett, or Bond Girls for a James Bond theme.

One neat theme is an over the hill gag gift theme. Decorations are easy: everything in black with “over the hill” balloons. Have guests bring the craziest over the hill gift they can find. The winner can be chosen by a group vote or by the birthday girl or boy. Be prepared for lots of laughter and fun. At the same time, be sure that have a serious gift as well. One idea is to have a wide picture mat that everyone can sign. Then, take a group picture at some point during the party. Later, print out the picture and put it in a frame with the mat. Then, follow up after the party and send a copy of the picture to all the guests, whether via e-mail or postal service.

There are many great themes available for 50th and 60th birthday parties. So, remember when you are looking for 50th birthday party ideas, or 60th birthday ideas, that a theme not only makes things fun, but it makes the planning easier.
