A 50th birthday is a great reason to throw a party.
A person can experience a lot over 50 years. After all, that's five decades, or to put it in another perspective, half of a century. Because of this, a 50th birthday is a significant celebration for men. Try celebrating the special day with a fun theme party that will commemorate more than just the day he has born, but the life he has led. Does this Spark an idea?
Hawaii Five-O Theme
If someone in your life is about to celebrate the "big five-o," try throwing a "Hawaii Five-O" themed birthday party. This classic show ran from 1968 to 1980 on CBS. For a "Hawaii Five-O" themed 50th birthday party, decorate with fun luau decorations. Hand pictures of palm trees, surfboards, hula girls---anything that will inspire the feel of the islands. Pass out leis to all the party guests or encourage them to dress in island gear, such as grass skirts. Serve poi and sweetbreads, as well as tropical drinks such as daiquiris and pina coladas served in coconut-shaped mugs.
Fabulous Fifties
You can help the special birthday boy in your life celebrate his entrance into his 50s by having a blast---from the past, that is. Throw a party based on the fabulous '50s. For example, encourage guests to come dressed in poodle skirts, saddle shoes and sweater vests. Feature music from the era such as classic rock and roll legends like Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry. Decorate with signs of the time, such as old cars and chrome furniture. Serve cheeseburgers and milkshakes on vintage-themed dishware.
Timeline Theme
People's lives change a lot over 50 years. They experience a lot of different things, witness a range of historical events and make a lot of memories. Celebrate the guest of honor's 50 years by throwing a party that commemorates the past 50 years in his and the world's history. Decorate with pictures that signify each of the 50 years leading up to his special day. Instead of an ordinary guestbook, try to have guests list things they admire about the guest of honor, or a favorite memory they have shared. Try to get at least 50 entries noted in the guestbook.
