Fifty is Fantastic and Fabulous

A Birthday Theme Party

At 50, your friend might not be young enough, or funny enough, to appreciate an "over the hill" party anymore. Think about going with a kinder, gentler approach. Design the party around activities or a theme that the guest of honor enjoys. Party411.com certainly has enough theme parties to help. Whether it's a golfer, a gardener or a traveler, you can find a theme that fits the guest of honor. It's a great time to look back at all the good things that have happened and to look forward to all the good things that will happen.

50th Birthday Party Invitations

The fun starts as soon as the invitation arrives.  Choose a fun birthday theme invitation

Wow your friends with a personalized caricature invitation from Creations for You.  What could be more fun than the guest of honor (or you!) with a big birthday cake, surrounded by items and activities they love? We are now pleased to offer semi-custom caricatures. Using art that has already been drawn, we can add a photo face or a caricature face and customize the message for you!

Or choose a personalized invitation or a backstage pass invitation that will get everyone excited about your party! Or how about a personalized ticket invitation to the best party in town?  Choose an invitation in the color of your choice that looks just like a real concert ticket!  You can even have it made with a magnetic backing so guests can put it right on the refrigerator.  An invitation and souvenir in one – what could be better?!

Celebrate the Good Times

You have some great options here. Create a timeline on a wall with key events. Ask your guests to recount stories around the key events. Create a scrapbook with pictures from graduations, the wedding day, an the first home, and let the conversation begin. You know there is someone in your group of friends who is the perfect emcee for this. Keep it fun. Keep it light. Keep it moving. While it is fun and appropriate to look back, this is a good time to look forward. Extend the timeline forward and focus on all the fun things that happen when the kids are gone, the house is paid for, and there is some time for self-indulgence.

Throwing a Theme Party

At 50, people are ready to spend some time on their hobbies or take those once-in-a-lifetime vacations. If you have an avid golfer, think about what Jimmy did for his birthday. Maybe the star of the show is ready to head to Hawaii (or at least hopes to soon). Well, you have to throw a luau. Maybe a trip to Vegas, Atlantic City or Bermuda is in the offering. How about a casino party? Or, a hybrid of several interests is possible.
