60th Milestone Birthday Party Ideas

A 60th birthday party is a big milestone and it should be treated as beloved as vintage itself. Warm tones are great for the party look so keep in theme with golds, browns, burgundies, and deep plums. Have music playing from 60 years ago and break out the old slideshow of the early decades of your life. Hang up big signs with fun sayings such as “Made 60 years ago. All original parts.” and “The man/woman. The myth. The legend.” Scatter scrabble block pieces on tables and vintage ads in frames for centerpieces. String matching flag banners, unique balloons, and big tissue flowers along the party venue and remember that you can never overdo it when hanging up old photos from throughout the years.

Turn the birthday cake into something that represents the joys of retirement, with shapes and decorations of favorite hobbies like golfing or the seaside. A sister table set up as a s’mores and coffee bar is an extra special treat for guests and a delightful addition to the over happy and nostalgic feel of this event.

A really neat party favor that your guests will absolutely love are vintage toys from the year you were born. Wrap these up in soda shop type boxes and send your guests home with something valuable that holds everlasting meaning.

Adult 50th - Birthday Party Theme

“Over the Hill” seems to be the big theme for the 50th birthday, but this can be a fun and hilarious way to celebrate. Crisp colors, clean lines, and relaxing lights really open up the birthday venue space to celebrate such a milestone and keep the mood light and serene. If you can take this party outdoors, even better.

Barbeque ribs on the grill with an assortment of beer, infused waters, and plenty of nostalgic finger foods and treats. Post up “over the hill” jokes along random places in your venue and really go all out to signify how special half a century of life really is. Group as many things as you can in “50” counts, from balloons to ceiling danglers to flowers and lights.

Arrange centerpieces on tables of yellow spring flowers and put trivia games circa the year you were born on the tables as well for the guests to play and enjoy. String up polaroids of yourself for each decade of your life up to your 50th year now. On a main event table, opt for a huge tower of 50 elaborately decorated cupcakes over one singular cake and put a candle on each one to make for a glorious light show. Fill glass milk bottles with candies fifty years in the making like twizzlers, caramel squares, and sweet tarts. Wrap up party favors for your guests in vintage tin lunchboxes and they will be sure to cherish the time they had at your 50th birthday event forever.

Adult 40th - Birthday Party Theme

“Forty and Fabulous” is the most popular motif for a 40th birthday and you’ll want a snazzy ambiance for this party. A 40th birthday celebration should be one that is full of light heart, smiles, and ultimate pizzazz.

Some great themes for a 40th birthday party celebration are Casino Night, Forty and Fierce, or Vintage. These themes encompass the spirit of 40 and your guests will really get into it. Confetti covered tables and chairs with feather accents give a vibrant feel to the celebration and mesh perfectly with bright red floral centerpieces in gleaming black and white vases. Balloons with “40” logos on them and metallic streamers and garland alongside Happy Birthday banners are basic decorations made special.

An aged liquor tasting station is a fun way to engage guests and offer them something as classic as your fabulous forty-year-old self. Have a birthday sheet cake in the shape of the numbers “40” with sparkler candles and serve accompanying desserts in gold rimmed martini glasses. Send your guests home with memorable favors of bottles of wine with fun, personalized labels or ribbon wrapped boxes full of glitter painted coasters. And of course, you have a great party without a fantastic game or two for your guests. Plan activities with the year “40” in mind, ranging from guessing games involving your birth year or forty questions in place of the normal twenty.
