50th Birthday - Information for You

A milestone birthday deserves a special celebration that will be reminisced about for years to come. If you’re stuck for an idea, go online and check out themes, one-of-a-kind party supplies and decorations, and creative party planning ideas. Find t-shirts bearing witty slogans for the “big-0” birthdays, including 50th birthday sayings, wisecracks, women’s humor, odd and interesting, and of course, lots of the over the hill jokes and slogans... Here are some great classics: “Oh no, say it isn't so, not the big 5-0!”, “Fifty happens”, “Getting old sucks, but it sure beats the alternative”, “You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me”, “Age is important only if you're cheese or wine”, “Fifty is the ultimate "F" word”, “Once over the hill you pick up speed”, “Old dude, made of achy breaky parts”, and my personal favorite, “Too sexy for my hair, that's why it isn't there!”   

Surprise parties for a 50thbirthday are lots of fun, and you can find some unique, funny ideas all over the web.  For the husband who loves fishing consider using a fishing theme and his collection of fishing stuff for decorations. The key is to pick something the honoree enjoys and that everyone can have fun with. For example, ask the guests to wear what your husband always wears, like tan pants, plaid shirts, and tennis shoes, if that’s what he wear, or if your wife is a nurse, everyone comes dressed in nurse uniforms.

50th Birthday - Tips and Advice

Another great party idea is to host an "In memory of . . . party", a kind of memorial service to the youth that's dead and gone, including guests’ eulogies, and fun ideas for the wake. Have a mock funeral and list the guests as pallbearers, including accomplishments of the deceased at the end, and the name of the funeral home and minister presiding over the service, etc. Lots of different approaches can be taken with this one to make it a truly personal “death”!
