Memories, Sweet Memories
* Ask all of your guests to come in costume. They can be anyone they want, as long as that person lived in the last sixty years.
* Have the D.J. play some of the top hits from each of the last six decades. To get people out on the dance floor, hire a dancing instructor to demonstrate steps from a few popular dances for each decade.
* Decorate the room with photos of famous events that happened during this time period.
* For a more personal touch, decorate with photos of the birthday boy or girl, as well.
Now Showing
* Choose movies from the year the birthday honoree was born, pop some corn and sit back to enjoy a trip down memory lane.
* Wrap up the evening with a video montage of the past sixty birthdays your loved one has celebrated.
Get Out of Town
* If the birthday honoree hasn't retired yet and hasn't even been on vacation lately, ask all the guests to dress in colorful resort wear.
* Set up the party area with loungers, a swim up bar and other traditional resort amenities. For extra fun and relaxation, hire a make over specialist to give facials and a massage therapist to help guests de-stress.
* To reinforce the theme, gifts should be something that would be useful on a vacation, such as sunglasses, beach reads, or luggage.
* If the guests really want to make the party special, they may want to chip in ahead of time to send the birthday boy or girl to an actual resort or on a cruise. If you book the trip, just be sure you buy insurance that enables the giftee to change dates and the destination.
Once you decide on a sixtieth birthday party theme, send the invitations and set up the event, you may feel that your job is done. However, to make sure the guest of honor has a fabulous time, there’s one more thing you will need to do. Choose an outfit for the birthday boy or girl to change into as soon as the other guests finish shouting surprise. There’s nothing more uncomfortable than being surrounded by elegantly clad people when you’re wearing holey blue jeans and a shirt that has seen better days.
