50th Birthday Party Ideas

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

If life starts at 40, then being at 50 means one reaches the golden years of life. So, the golden jubilee of one's life should be celebrated in a grand manner to make it a memorable one for the rest of the life. The most popular way to celebrate fiftieth birthday is to bring back the old days of the celebrant. The theme of the birthday party can be "Down the memory lane" where the atmosphere of the celebrant's childhood and young days. It can be done in two ways- one is to recreate the year on which the guest of honor was born or things can be arranged to stir the memories of his old days.

Here are some ways to bring back the good old days

Try to invite as many of the old friends as possible as they are the ones who have seen the growing years, knew the pranks done by the celebrant in young days or who was the first crush. Give the guests a remember book where they can write the special memories with the birthday person.During the birthday party, some of the age old 'secrets' can be shared with all.
If one wants to recreate the time when the person was born, then request the guests to wear the kind clothes worn in the late 1950's. Arrange for the hit songs of that era and try to bring the aura of that decade through the decorations. A gramophone can be placed and the room can be decorated with flowers and candles, old furnitures if possible can replace the modern ones.
Get some old pictures like the first birthday, school days, first date, wedding and blown them up into posters to hang out on the walls.
Arrange for games that a fifty old used to play in his childhood like marbles, spins, checkers. While the celebrant and his or her peers will enjoy reliving the past while the younger generations, addicted to video games and virtual world, in the party will have some new things to do.

Fiftieth birthday can also be made memorable by making the person do what he or she had always longed for. If your father wants to go for hike at a particular place, then take him there on his golden jubilee year as it might not have been possible at seventy-five. Or if your mother wanted to indulge herself in a luxury hotel then arrange according to her wishes. Fiftieth birthday is a milestone birthday, so do anything that would make the celebrant happy and will be remembered forever.

Good Afternoon,
While looking through your site I realize that it is mainly conceived around google adsense and google adwords, however, the information you provide in the center is a prime place to get a real idea out. Ill give you 10% of any sale you lead to us if you talk about our company in there, you can also give people a coupon code of 10% off to encourage some more sales.

Our idea is very very unique compared to the run around of other adsense terms. Or company, C&S Research Institute was a smash hit this valentines day, and the opportunity to offer it year round has arisen.

Our company resembles a medical research institute that diagnoses the recipient with chrnoic conditions, those conditions are later determined to be sexiness and cuteness, and the most common outcome from the receiving of this letter is a burst of shock and laughter! We then prescribe the recipient with medicine bottle full of "prescription" medication, being kisses and M&Ms! Check out some of the videos on youtube.com, we have also had several write ups on blogs and local news papers to help spread this great new idea!

contact me back if you'd like to set up some contacts, and also, where I can send the paypal payments too.

All good gift ideas. Another thought for birthdays, or maybe even weddings or just about anything, this website - www.ptgiftco.com - has alot of different gift possiblities, and a military gift category, with things that can be personalized with names/ranks/personal messages. I got a USAF garden stake for a friend (leaving for Iraq next month) and they absolutely loved it. Enjoy!

This sounds like a fun theme for a 50th birthday party. Personally, I don't like it when guests bring "old" gifts like canes, etc.

But a way to remember the past would be fun!
